The problem with doing it by stages is that each time, this would involve an 800 mile round trip over mountain passes that are still covered with snow this time of year. I'm probably best off waiting until the end of the month when the passes will have begun to clear and just get it over with all at once! |
I know we Brits, all mouth and trousers, but, God, you move so far over there - those sorts of distances here would have us in the ocean! OK - it seems like you will have to make a big move of some description, but if you want to cut down the size of the load, how about....
You leave some things that aren't urgent to have with various friends local to where you are now, and give them the deal that they are invited to your new place for a meal/stopover (date to be decided) on the basis that they bring your left goodies with them. If it's a weather issue then on the same basis, cancel the meal/stopover and make a second trip when the weather's good to pick up the left items from friends
Not sure how many options you can have beyond that, given the logistical nightmare of your relocation...
