Organization Absolutely Necessary

I now have a dedicated binder with all of my paperwork for this adventure in it. It's got travel orders, cat paperwork, itineraries, permits, licenses, forms,and receipts, a few random other documents; some in triplicate! And more is arriving every day.

I was just contacted by the company organizing the shipment and storage of my items. I'm getting lucky with the timing of the shipment, I guess there is a barge heading out the week after I leave and it is scheduled to arrive in Kwajalein 21 days later. My friend that went out a few months ago didn't see his belongings for over 3 months!

I'm getting there. The pieces are falling into place one at a time.

I had a transferee whom I relocated to Malaysia. His household goods got stuck in customs for almost 6 months because he forgot about his pornographic collection. Pornography is illegal in Malaysia. Try to explain that to your manager asking him/her for additional temporary housing!

LOL! That's awesome!

I don't think I'll have to worry about that but I won't count on it being there until it shows up in my apartment.
