Travelers-How do you transport your belongings?

Published

I'm currently in California and I'll be travelling to Denver next month. My boyfriend is travelling with me and we dont want to drive 2 cars. We're going to somehow ship our belongings and even a car to Denver. Any suggestions of the cheapest and most effiecient way? Thanks!

If just going to Denver, drive. If you have extra things that won't fit, ship them via UPS.

I've been travelling for the past 10 years now, so I do have a few suggestions for you. Travel as light as possible, pack well, and if there is something you absolutely need, ship it to your place.

I usually just take my clothes, a few uniforms, and my sewing supplies....usually I have more sewing supplies than anything else, but that is another story. For all the household stuff, I go to the local Goodwill, Salvation Army, and any other thrift-type store to pick up my essentials. When my stint is done, I donate them back, and take it off on my taxes as a donation. I don't bring any pots,pans, dishes, silverware, glasses, towels, sheets...just my own pillow, and my own blanket, but that is my preference. I travel with my husband and two dogs, so I have learned to travel light. We only have a small car as well...a Chrysler Cirrus. So I guess I am just real good at packing, and don't leave a lot of extra space. Not everything is in big suitcases. The ones I have are more like duffel bags, and I put things in plastic bags that I can "stuff" into the small spaces in my trunk. Makes for an interesting trip tho....I keep wondering, "When am I going to get a flat?" I have an answer for that as well--keep a can of fix-a-flat under your front seat!

Good luck and have a good trip!
