I'm new to this board, but a friend of mine recently went to Europe for a month on his own, and he swears by the advice given here.
The short-and-narrow of it, is that myself and my girlfriend of five-years are ready to uproot ourselves from Virginia, and journey to the West Coast. Both her and I have done extensive research about the lifestyle and job market in the San Francisco and outer-Oakland area, and this is just a dream of ours that we want to make happen. We've got lots of input from friends and family about where to go, what to avoid, etc etc. Here's the real question we have though right now:
Moving from Virginia with just our two cars, the problem we're finding is going to be transporting the big stuff. While we obviously don't have any grand ideas about moving everything we own to California, there are a couple of things we want to bring with us, and fitting those into two cars with all of our clothes and essentials just isn't possible. We've looked into renting a Uhaul, we've looked into Moving Services, and all of the typical options (renting a trailer, etc). Because we are not coming back, borrowing a truck or attachment-trailer is out of the question. I'm starving for some input on this, as well as any other ideas or suggestions that any of you have about the bay area.
You can email me or reply here, as I'll be checking back in regularly. If you have any awesome input on the move, I look forward to hearing it. Thanks ahead of time for your creative input!
