Travel Dates

Jul 19, 2017

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to get an update on people's travel dates timeline. For example, how long after final orders did it take to get travel orders? Also, are people starting to get really late dates? We got an email today that our orders are not complete as of yet. What are that chances we will get them next Monday and have to leave the following Monday? We want to go so we are there close to the 10th, but at the same time we are getting to the point where we have a lot of things to take care of and only one week left would not be enough time. Does that make sense or are we over thinking it like everything pretty much?!?!?

An additional stress is that our house is rented out as of the 8th. How is everyone coping with the stress!

SandArt Agree on the movers, Teach. We got our HHG shipment no problem. However, we wanted to put some stuff in storage and the other company we got would not budge about coming before we have to move out of our house. We did not have a lot, so we decided to just donate what we planned to store locally.

As for the travel office, they were great. ...See More
