Oh I totally get it. Even when I left places that I didn't have such great memories, there was still a bit of melancholy seeping in. When I left places I loved and didn't want to leave, I was trying to look ahead to the next "adventure." Y'all keep having new adventures!!

most cleaning products you have are probably illegal in California! Not worth moving. Hangers--I doubt that between you you have 200 pieces of clothing to hang. If you have time create a sculpture! I think you are lucky to be leaving New Orleans on such good terms. You have really taken advantage of the city on so many different levels. And what memories!

Thanks Gail. I have been fortunate in so many ways while living here. I've also been fortunate during the move process so far. So many things that I expected to take a lot of time or cost did not. Looking forward to being on the road and starting a new chapter.

Erin and Bill, love your narrative today. I remember vividly those feelings of "the move" from my 20 years in the U.S. Coast Guard. Getting on the road calms all of that, as you start to look out the window and see new things. I can't wait to hear about all of that! Westward.....

When I moved to Florida years ago, I let the movers do a lot of the last minute packing because my husband's company was paying for the move. They rejected a bottle of glycerin skin protectant as hazardous material. 😆
