Feck...2 days to pack!
Should have done it last week, any tips? (apart from just chuck it all in a van).

I've done this many times...bin bags are indispensible for all things that aren't fragile. Just load 'em up and in the van.

well, ok, not exactly this week, but on the 13th of Aug 2003 i shall be relocating to the US for good, so long, thanks for the fish
it's kinda easy doing it this way, i'm basically taking what i can pack/carry onto an aeroplane, so mostly clothing, a few books, and a brand new shiney laptop (although i'm even debating wether to purchase this on the other side of the pond, they cost about the same there as here, but i don't have to carry it, and don't need to purchase a different powerpack!).
the rest of my worldly goods are being put into storage (cds, books, erm, stuff) or given away (mostly to charity shops) as the house we own in america is pretty much fully furnished now anyways!
so yeah, it's the, erm, final countdown

Welcome to the States then!!!
MN is very cold.....hope you bring warm clothes!
And you may get a better deal here on laptop....the pound sterling is very strong against the doller...more bang for your pound so to speak.

i live in spain at the moment, so i have eurodollars at the moment, which is currently running at about 870€ - $1000, so i can pick up a new dell inspiron 5100 with all the bells and whistles for about 1500€ (about $1,717.11)...
and yeah, i have been to MN several times this year already, but i must look up chi town, see what sinnie is doing these days?¿?¿
