I made 4 plywood/wood frame crates that will fit inside a 20' container. I packed and sealed 3 completely, and #4 is partially packed taking up a stall in our 2 car garage.. Check with Matson about requirements, they advised me to use Allied to send them to the left coast to be loaded on a container to Kona or Hilo via Oahu. Take pictures as you fill up the container and store them in a couple of remote places for insurance purposes. I got side tracked with cancer, am just now getting ready to move to Puna again.

I was limiting us to one 20' container, but now it may be 2 or a 40' because we waited 3 years with the cancer and didn't get rid of enough stuff.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Rick, Just what are you bringing? I am thinking that is way, way, way too much stuff.

You are correct, however you talk to my wife, Ok? [B)]

Mostly tools and equipment. A whole woodworking/Cabinet shop of tools. That is 2 crates ready to go (over $50,000 invested) plus all the time of accumulating them. I have a ShopBot 42" Buddy CNC and a complete ShopSmith and all of the associated stuff in one. One crate is for household items. Some Heirlooms. All our clothes are going to Goodwill except for the bare minimum. I will buy new T Shirts when I get there. None of my clothes fit anymore since I am much bigger now from lack of activity and willpower from the cancer. But I suppose I don't need 10 pairs of Jeans anymore and 15 pairs of shoes I never wore often anyway.

2 Generators also. Both new. Plumbing and Electrical stuff and all the tools of my old trade (Electronics Technician)

And for the record, I may store the items for later transit except the household stuff. []

The one thing my wife will not part with is our living room furniture, it is leather, and I know it will end badly. But she says she will wipe it off every day and take care of it. I say she will not and we will end up burning it at some point or having it recovered. The set was over $5000 10 years ago. The couch comes apart in 4 pieces, and 2 recliners, tables, lamps and rugs.

So....I agree we are bringing to much. [:p]

Our Vehiclaes are going to our Grandchildren. They are getting pretty old and I put off getting newer for that reason.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.
