What are you waiting for?
IIf you didn't read in a status I recently posted, I'm moving to Alaska to take my first teaching job. I'm excited and nervous for the adventure. I'm leaving in 10 days and I still feel like there is so much to do. The district has helped with my travel, which will be taken out of my first 3 paychecks. The rest has been left to me, and then in January I will get a signing bonus. As a recent college graduate who was taking loans out to support myself while working 2 jobs, let's just say that I don't have a whole lot of extra money for this move. I've borrowed some money from family and got a credit card. I've been looking up the best and cheapest ways to ship things out to my village as well and will be taking full advantage of Amazon Prime, which isnt as fast as it is in the lower 48 but still free shipping. Once I start getting paid I'm going to have my family ship some things through priority mail USPS. Standard box sizes means I will have several, but the shipping to alaska outside of this option s crazy! Any advice would be great if you have experience or knowledge.
I'm also worried about the airline travel with 2 pets. I have booked both on my flights, but am nervous what will happen once we actually get to the airport. I bought a carrier that follows carryon regulations and hope to have both cats in it. I have heard opinions on both sides about this option, so again I am posting this seeking advice as well as recording my journey. The other option is to fly my second cat on a separate airline for 271$ in the cargo hold. This cat will leave 2 hours earlier than me, stop at a city I am not in, and then arrive in Seattle earlier than I. Got my anxiety level on peak with all that shenanigans. I don't currently have the money to book but am wondering if I book it if I can get a refund if Plan A works. Again, dealing with airports can be such a difficult process.
As I mentioned, Amazon Prime is still free. If you have a burning urge to help this adventuring soul then please check out my Amazon wishlist which I've made public and setup to send to my address out in the bush. Thanks in advance on the off chance this happens, message me if you do. Http://a.co/cSOvB05
Stay tuned for updates, and as always your advice and knowledge are kindly welcomed!
