Over the past couple of days, we've been frantically getting ready to leave the country on Friday the 15th, selling almost everything we own and enjoying going away happy hours, brunches, dinners and drinks with friends.
We just heard from our recruiter that now the school doesn't need us there until the 21st, meaning we have more time to pack away our lives before we leave! Apparently, there was a parent/teacher conference on the 15th that the school wanted us to try and get there for, but since we cannot, we have an extra few days before we depart.
Three important lessons from this experience:
1. It IS possible to sell a TV, TV stand, patio set, 3 coolers, 6ft table, 2 dressers, 2 lamps, bike, computer screen, grill, queen size bed, table and vacuum in less than 3 days.
2. You can cancel a flight for no extra charge if you do so within 24hrs of purchasing it (this might be common knowledge, but is news to us!).
3. We have some pretty amazing friends here in the DC area
Still waiting...
