Relocating logisitics

When I meet new people around here, many of them ask me about where we used to live before we moved here and they ask about the logistics of how we got here.  This is such a transient area, it seems that people are always moving.  Living near the Washington DC area, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.  There are a lot of government-related jobs that dictate that people move around! 

Many people ask me which one of the moving companies we used to get all of our possessions here.  We moved from almost 700 miles away, and it was a major effort on our part to get here.  My wife and I had spent a lot of time trying to find one of the budget van lines to use to get our possessions down here, but in the end we decided to use a one way truck rental instead.  Nothing against any of the budget van lines; I’m sure that they are all well qualified.  It’s just that we decided to move in stages over a several month period of time, so it worked out best if we did it ourselves.
