The movers arrived right on time and went to work. They were done in two hours. It was an easy process for them with all the work Judy did in advance preparing our stuff. All our clothes were pre-folded (thanks to the ayi), and wrapped in plastic bags, ready to be boxed. They finished up with 39 boxes. We had an estimate of 6 cubic meters to ship and it was close. The insurance ran our costs up considerably. I probably set our prices high, but I didn\u2019t want to get short-changed if we do have a problem when it\u2019s delivered. BISS had prepaid a large portion of the shipping, but the balance came from us.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3367\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3113.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3367\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3367 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3113-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3113\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3113-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3113-1024x765.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3113-624x466.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3367\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before the shippers arrive.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3365\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3111-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3111\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3111-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3111-765x1024.jpg 765w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3111-624x835.jpg 624w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3111.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3115.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3369\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3115-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3115\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3115-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3115-1024x765.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3115-624x466.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3114.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3368\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3114-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3114\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3114-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3114-1024x765.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3114-624x466.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3112.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3366\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3112-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3112\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3112-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3112-765x1024.jpg 765w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3112-624x835.jpg 624w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3112.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We were beat when they finally left, but our ayi was coming in for the afternoon to clean up.

I left early enough to go by the bank and get some more currency exchanged. Dinner was so relaxing. It was a beautifully cool and clear night (it had rained really hard in the afternoon). We ended up with 6 in the group, sitting out on the deck. Lots of discussion of summer plans from everyone as well as goodbyes. Every time I leave a location these days, I\u2019m reminded I probably won\u2019t be back.
