“The movers are here and they’re taking the house apart! Come quickly!” The bedroom door slammed and I heard my son’s footsteps racing down the stairs. I pulled on a pair of pants and shot downstairs, stunned at the hive of activity. There must have been 10 guys at work – packing, passing, crating, lifting and scurrying about. One of them spotted me and trotted over. “We are your movers and as you can see, we are already hard at work. You called in the right firm of movers, Mister! We will have you in China in no time at all. And just wait until you meet our movers on the other side!”
I had looked for movers in order to get the move to China on the rails, but this was incredible. It all took just over 2 hours and the house was completely bare. I had a sudden thought and ran to the phone to look for a hotel where we could stay until our flight on the weekend. The Airport Holiday Inn was most obliging. Then I raced around to the boys’ school and explained what was happening. They too were very supportive. See how easily it can all be done?
