Just how much is 70%???

We got word that the movers will be arriving Thursday. Yes, THIS Thursday, to begin the packing extravaganza. They plan to pack about 70% of our earthly possessions, then leave us in our 30% furnished home for another week and a half before returning for the rest. They are doing this because they are very busy and only have time for us in this way. In preparation, I have been preoccupied with the now commonplace Verbrugge Trashout. Every major move we make allows us the opporunity to purge all unnecessary miscellaneous items that have made their home with us in the past few years. So far, I have managed to unload one carload at a yard sale, 2 moving boxes to a playgroup mom and about 1/4 of a dumpster full... Things to "release" continue to surface at an alarming rate.

We will take 5% with us via the plane. Then the remaining 95% will arrive to us in the U.S. approximately 6 weeks after our Prague departure leaving us "camping" in our house in Maryland for a month and a half. Yes, this sounds fun...
