Wow! I'm super impressed with your timeline... that's amazing!

Yes, I've moved long distance. In 2006, I uprooted after 25 years in Central Texas and moved to a small seaside town in Northwest Washington state. Much more leisurely move, though... in some ways.

ABF Freight dumped one of their "U-Pack" 20-foot shipping containers in our driveway in Texas; we took two weeks to pack all our stuff into it. Then a truck came and hauled the trailer to their Tacoma depot where it was "warehoused" for (up to) 60 days while we looked around in a pretty leisurely fashion. We arrived here on September 24th; found our house and were ready to move in November 8th... called ABF and they hauled our trailer out and parked it in our new driveway where we had a week to empty it. It was a lot of work, but pretty low stress, all in all... and about $6,000 cheaper than using movers.
