I'm moving to Berlin TOMORROW. I got my tickets just about as soon as they announced that USians could get in for tourist purposes.
I shipped a 50 cu ft pallet, which is at a port in Charleston awaiting a ship, and it should reach me in 6-8 weeks. Even with that, I'm checking four bags (which is costing me over $500, thanks Air France).
I also really hope they don't weigh my carry-ons, because they list a maximum of 26 lbs TOTAL for carry-on and personal item. Like... some of the things in my carry-on can't legally go into the hold (my laptop, for example). So I guess tomorrow will involve reshuffling my luggage AGAIN. (I estimate 35 lbs total: laptop, tablet, Switch, portable speaker w/Li-ion battery; change of clothes; food; jewelry; medications; cords to charge things with; necessary documents, etc.)
I need to get myself to sleep so I can get started quickly tomorrow. My flight isn't until 6:30 pm, but we're probably leaving around 2:30 (an hour's drive, then lord knows how crazy baggage check and all that will be. I got the Global Entry thing, so I can do the fast line through security, at least.) And if I need to re-shuffle a lot (which may mean putting some things in a box and mailing it), I'll need time. I also have to gather all the loose items floating around and put them into some sort of container (ideally sorted by priority to pick up when I'm next here; we'll see how time goes).
More later!
