First-night box
The van can miss the window. Your sheets, meds, and kettle should not. Pack this bag yourself.
You get the box that stays out of the truck.
Pack this bag yourself. It rides in your car, not in the truck that might arrive tomorrow.
First-night box
- 1.Sheets, pillows, and a change of clothes for each person
- 2.Toothbrush, soap, toilet paper, towels, and any nightly meds
- 3.Phone chargers, a power strip, and the laptop if work starts tomorrow
- 4.Passports, lease or completion papers, and the mover inventory copy
- 5.A lamp or a bulb. New places love a dead fitting.
- 6.Bin bags and a roll of paper towel
- 7.Kettle or coffee kit, mugs, and something to eat that needs no oven
- 8.Two towels and two sets of cutlery. Sharing one fork is a fight.
