Heck at the end of the day you are uprooting your whole life and moving to a foreign country, take anything and everything you feel you need to make the adjustment easier :)

I took the clearing out with extreme prejudice option and brought a couple of cases of clothes to leave on trips before I moved, when I finally came for good I had 2 suitcases, I haven't yet missed anything that got rehomed and thanks to lymes disease all my clothes are now falling off big :lol:

But seriously it's a big thing to move to a new country, if you feel you need to ship everything you own then do it :)

Everything crossed for a smooth and stress free journey

Yes that is exactly how I feel, I feel like moving everything I own. Lol ! It does make sense to leave the TVs behind though. I too left ALOT if not all my summer clothes behind when I left the USA last month.

Thanks for your input :)
