Preparing to Depart

To prepare to depart from Utah took about 9 months.

I started packing things I thought I wouldn't need for next 7 or 8 months.

By the way - I don't care if you haven't used an item for 40 years. If you pack you'll need it.

I washed and painted walls, cleaned out closets, cupboards, and shelves, and hauled stuff off to the DI (donation place like the good will.) Looking back I am glad I started early.

Though I was very organized moving is still very hard.
