We bought in St. James. We close on Friday, only 4 more days. We juggled the movers and they are packing on Thursday, loading on Friday morning. So we will hit the road and be there Friday evening sometime. So that puts us in our home 2 days earlier than we thought we would be!

Well, we have survived the move from hell. Lots-o-damage, but what the heck ... just stuff. With one exception, something of my Fathers that cannot be repaired or easily replaced.
BUT, we are here, all of the boxes empty and gone, golf cart was delivered, new furniture delivered, pictures hung, almost done! Whew. We even got in a quick 9 holes of golf the other day. Only things left are the lanai kick-out, landscape work, and a water softener. But I won't be doing any of that! Shoot, all it takes is a credit card or a checkbook.

Tell us more! Sounds like an interesting story. What movers did you hire or did you do it yourself? Details, details.

Oh, and congratulations on settling in (somewhat).

Loooong story, best told over a cold beverage. We used a "local" mover that came highly recommended, and they were not cheap.
After 7 visits over 5 yrs, we were really ready to get here.
