8 Tips On How To Make Your Relocation Smoother cont.
Well good morning from Alachua! Here it is, Monday morning - where did the weekend go! I hope all you father’s out there had a very “Happy Father’s Day” Here is the continuation of my 8 tips that should have posted yesterday if I could have gotten to my computer. But being “Father’s Day” and all, I thought I’d be nice and not pester my hubby to get off the computer. The result being…I never got to use it. So without any further ado………..
· Tip#5: Don’t Forget the Kids
Moving can be very hard on your children, but there are steps you can take to help alleviate your children’s fears. Communicate with them as to exactly what’s going on, and get them involved in the moving process and the search for a new home. If they have a favorite toy, pack it last.
· Tip#6: Moving Your Pet
Maintain your pet’s daily routine until the day of the move. Take your pet for a routine veterinary appointment and obtain all necessary records. Moving by car is the least upsetting for the animal, but if flying is the only option be sure to plan early. Space for pets on commercial airliners is often limited. You may wish to consider a pet transportation service, which can greatly help your pet with the transition.
· Tip#7: What About Your Car(s)?
Your moving company may be able to accommodate your car, but it can be costly given the fact that most general moving companies charge based on gross weight. There are companies that specialize in car shipping. Other services can have your car driven to its destination. Check with your auto insurance company about coverage during transport.
· Tip#8: Get Settled
Make a move-in shopping list, check all smoke and security alarms, set up utilities, and start unpacking!
