Pack Up and Go
One Hyacinth Macaw, two cats, 4 dogs, one car, two golf carts, furniture, possessions and clothes from a lifetime of collecting. I live in Orange County, California. How do I get all these things packed and moved across the country to the Port of Entry in Miami and then shipped off to the Bahamas? The first part involves many, many garage sales, yard sales, antique auctions, adverts in the newspaper (all this before Ebay). Here's how it goes. Once its decided what will go and what will stay, the movers come and pack everything into a moving van (or two). Then they go off to the train yard where everything is unloaded out of the vans and repacked into a train car and put on the rails to the East Coast somewhere. Then, everything is offloaded again, reloaded on to another train car going South to Miami where it is then unloaded again, reloaded onto a shipping container and put on the waiting list for a boat going my way. My head is exploding.
