At exactly 9:01 this morning the movers arrived in their little truck. We're moving to Scotland!
The packers got right to work. They seemed to know what they were doing . . . imagine doing this every day.
Everything, big and small, was wrapped in paper . . .
. . . and then in bubble-wrap.
Sometimes the wrappage seemed excessive. I would have thrown these in a box and forgot about them . . .
Lots of keepsakes and mementos of Thailand nicely packed and awaiting their trip to Aberdeen, Scotland.
As the morning wore on, the boxes started to accumulate.
We do have some warm weather clothes to pack from our "winter" vacations out of Bangkok . . . but not too much.
We have had to pare down our home altar. We are only allowed to export five Buddha images from Thailand. We have competed all the applications and submitted the paperwork for legal exportation of Buddha items and old Thai artifacts. All travellers out of Thailand are required to do this. It is a good thing. We will have new home altar in Aberdeen.
This is our shipment ready to go.
And away it goes!
The truck is loaded.
Loading our possessions . . .
. . . see you in six weeks.
Our Transpo/Asian Tigers packing crew.
And off it all goes, June 10, 2013.
