relocation
Posted by madameblogalot at 10:57 am in life, reviews

Just a couple of weeks ago, my cousin moved to Alaska. Her husband is in the air force and they have lived the last several years in Phoenix, Arizona. I am sure that moving to Alaska will bring a culture shock of sorts to her, her husband and their four year old daughter. There was one family member who learned of the shock right away-the dog! My cousin tried to think of everything they would need for such a drastic move and did a pretty good job. But after having been there less than a day, she realized she would have to get the dog some booties, as his paw pads were freezing when it was time for him to go out!

Since they live the air force life, I am sure this will not be the family’s last move. Maybe one day they will again find themselves moving to Hawaii, Colorado, or even back to the Southwest. My cousin would likely want to hear about the ReloCubes at ABF U-Pack. These are moving containers that you pack, the company delivers and you unpack. These cubes are delivered with commercial freight so you can get your stuff quicker than if you had to wait for a full service moving company. This sounds like a good option for a family moving a long way like my cousin has done.

  1. Arizona to Alaska certainly is a shock. Their daughter and the dog will be first to adapt. There’s good and bad about being a military family, but I think more good than bad. My sister’s husband was a career Navy Officer and they had a very good life living in many places all over the world.

  2. she called her brother and said she already loves it! I think it would be fun to visit, but the shock would be too much for me! :)

  3. A few months ago, I interviewed with a couple who were looking for care for their baby. They had recently relocated to the Chicago area from Hawaii. On purpose. Plain crazy.

  4. the only down side I’ve heard about Hawaii is the cost of living. moving from Paradise to a large city where it’s COLD!! yep, I would have to call that plain crazy! :)
