Sea Shipment

Our 4x4 air shipment arrived a few weeks ago and ahead of schedule!  We now have some additional clothes, toys, shoes, scooters, plus 10 sticks of deodorant, a paper towel holder (that doesn't even fit the tiny paper towels here) and 1 outdoor pillow.  I blame those random items on being in a serious moving coma at the time ;)

We are now awaiting our sea shipment and I'm kind of obsessed with it getting here!  As mentioned before, I am SO OVER the ugly, uncomfortable rental sofa, beds, etc.  I JUST WANT MY STUFF!!!

I want rugs so you don't hear a constant echo (and to drown out the noise from my loud kids), I want my own bed, I want my outdoor living room set so we can actually enjoy our balcony, I want more toys for my kids, I want my own pillow so my neck will stop hurting, I want the kids bedding so their rooms actually look like their rooms, I want my clothes as I'm over wearing the same 10 things, I want our HOME TO FEEL LIKE HOME!!

We were told the container would arrive in Singapore 6-8 weeks after the pack-up.  I am tracking our shipment on the MOL Prestige freighter, as you can see below.  Our container was railed to Norfolk for most of the month of August and has finally hit the high seas!!!!

As of today it is en route to southern Spain, followed by a swing through the Suez Canal, Sri Lanka and then to Singapore!  My furniture is going to have seen more of the world than I have :)  Once it arrives in Sing, it will have a few days in customs, then the movers will deliver to our place, probably around October 4.  CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!
