Boxes and well more boxes….

February 2006 Just a week after our return from the Maldives the sad day to leave our villa approached and the packers arrived on mass. Of course his nibs was out of the country….. All our stuff was to go into storage, and we were moving to temporary accommodation. Almost three days it took them to disassemble our things and pack them in paper and cardboard and boxes and yet more boxes. We did take some things to our new Marina apartment but not much. The worst thing about the whole move was the lists… We had to list EVERYTHING that was packed for insurance purposes, it really hits home how much stuff you manage to hoard. We had 188 packages, some the size of a bed, others the size of a dining table and many many you guessed it….boxes…. The team of 6 packers really knew their stuff and for the first time in Dubai I was impressed at the service and the hard labour the guys put in. I just hope the un-packers at the other end are as efficient.
