Leaving Town

Monday, May 3 and it's finally happening. The movers are here packing the items that will be shipped to Thailand.

Even though I have purged many things I still think I'm taking to much. I just have too much stuff. Why do I need all this?

Of course I'll be living without it for the next 6 to 8 weeks so it will be interesting to see what I really miss.

I'm not taking any furniture yet. Have to be sure I'm happy with my location before I make that commitment. I will be moving into a furnished apartment in the city of Nonthaburi, about 38 mile north of downtown Bangkok.

Tomorrow they pack the items and furniture that's staying in storage until I need it (or want it - will I ever need it?).

Leaving Chattanooga and my home here is bittersweet. I'm excited about the new job and exploring Thailand but I've had a nice life here and will especially miss my many friends.
