Timeline

TIMELINE:
We went to a Levy Briefing yesterday. This is where they give you your orders, and tell you what all you have to do before you leave the country. Over the next week or so we have to make appts to do the following:
Ship truck (mid June)
Ship household goods, that's furniture, appliances, dishes, etc that we'd like in 2 months (mid June)
Ship hold baggage, that is our clothes, and things we'd like in 5-6 weeks (mid July)
Clear out of house and move to on post guest house (July 28-Aug 8) already reserved
Govt furniture pickup from our house (by July 31)
Clear out of house July 31
Sell Hooptie
**FLY AUGUST 7**
all of these are rough estimates.

We will fly directly to Kansas City. There was some discussion about whether we would first go to Texas to visit, but the truth is that we will be living out of suitcases for a month minimum as it is. If we do visiting before we secure some housing, we'll be stressing the whole time about where we'll live when we finally get there. So the plan now is to fly to KC, find a place to live, hope the truck has arrived, get it, etc., and then do some visiting with family and friends.

Things are happening!!

It will be much better to relax visit with out the worries of where you will be living.
