we’re trying to figure out what to get rid of and what to take with us. how do you decide something like that? i think we should take our dishes; it will be good to have something familiar that we will use often. i have no doubt we won’t have any need for our coats, snowboots, gloves, hats, snow pants, sleds, etc… i think it comes down to whether or not we need it or is it better to take it or replace it once we’re there? there’s nothing we own that we’re overly attached to. i imagine most, if not all, of our furniture will fall into the get rid of it category. we’re tempted to get rid of almost everything and take as little as possible – but i don’t want to find myself regretting that decision. i’m still trying to find an “all the things you need to think of and do when you’re moving from america to thailand” website; it would be so very helpful. maybe someone will read this and create it just for me. :)
