Bring almost nothing when you move

[csgray]

We did the whole sell or give away everything, but in retrospect there are things we should have kept: ALL our tools because they were very expensive to replace and often the quality was lower, all our breaker bars and extension cords were expensive to replace too. We shipped over my good stainless steel kitchenware but I should have brought all my pyrex over, same with kitchen hand utensils, serving spoons, knives, and table ware, bed linens and towels were expensive to replace.

Other than those things we don't regret selling all the household goods, furniture or books, but it was wrenching to sell a lifetime collection of books, many were out of print and irreplaceable.
