Sometime within the next 2-3 years, I will be moving, permanently, to New Zealand.
I researched luggage allowances, etc, to see how much I could take with me, and it seems my hands are tied. All I'm taking with me are 4 pairs of jeans, some long-sleeved shirts, a few t-shirts, a few pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of shoes, a couple sleeveless shirts for pajamas and working out and stuff, maybe 2 or 3 books (I'm sure I won't be able to find them easily over there), all the friken lotion and body soap I have that I've never used (maybe 5ish pounds worth), a few files I should take with me in case I need proof of education, employment, US citizenship, etc, a crayon box with pens and pencils, a few cds and burned movies stuck in 2 cd cases, a jacket or two, personal items (underwear, bras, socks, toothbrush and toothpaste, wallet, bathing suit, etc), and the stuffed animal my fiance gave me for Christmas last year.
I'm really not taking any more than I need, because luggage has its limits. But things are expensive there (for example, a basic cheap bra is $50, and jeans are around $80+), so it's be nice to not have to buy stuff I already have.. ya know?
44 pounds... that's my suit case and jeans.. what about everything else? I'm really only taking what I need, except the books, crayon box, and body soap/lotions. If I have to, I can cut those, but that'd suck to have them but never use them. I only have a little brother, so he's never going to use them. I'm really only worried about the body soap, so I wouldn't have to buy bar soap (because it's a little pricey there).
Any ideas?
How much would it cost to have a few boxes shipped overseas? I'd only need 2 small boxes at the most. I really only need to take 3-4 suitcases (because jeans and shoes take up so much space and weight so much). It'd suck to have to pay for the services of a few boxes of jeans and shirts.. right?
