"The year 1866 was signalized by a remarkable incident, a mysterious and inexplicable phenomenon, which doubtless no one has yet forgotten. Not to mention rumors which agitated the maritime population, and excited the public mind, even in the interior of continents, seafaring men were particularly excited. Merchants, common sailors, captains of vessels, skippers, both of Europe and America, naval officers of all countries, and the Governments of several states on the two continents, were deeply interested in the matter." (20,000 Leagues Under The Sea)
No, my life was not written by Jules Verne, and I am pretty sure that our 20ft container filled with every one of our belongings does not quite "agitate rumors amongst the maritime population", but to me, this is huge! I never thought a container traveling half way across the globe would make part of my life. This is very exciting! And to think of the journey that it is about to embark on. Wow.
The guys from Omega Shipping have been here for two days straight. Great crew by the way, would highly recommend them. Yesterday was packing and today, loading the container. We are crossing our fingers as we were told that we may not be able to fit everything in the container. What this means is an extra shipment, which is not only more money, but as Olim, Israel allows us three tax free shipments, so two separate shipments means using up two tax benefits. We are full about 2/3 of the container. Will keep you posted on the progress.
Qué pasó entonces? Sigo cruzando mis dedos? Jajajaa. B-E-H-A-T-Z-L-A-J-A!!
