1. I've moved exactly 20 times.
2. My furthest move was 4,000 miles from Boston to Lucca, Italy.
3. I had 16 boxes of books, plus a stack I put in suitcases.
4. I now have a home & it survived Hurricane Harvey, so I hope to stay put for a while.
5. Yay. I suggest packing the boxes yourself & marking every box with a description of what is in it. Then have movers come to do the actual hauling.
