CHECKLIST FOR MOVING:
There are too many things that can go wrong during a move unless you're well prepared with multiple lists and a knack of coordination. All will go well if we keep calm and cool. Drink plenty of liquids and call me in the morning! All kidding aside, the more prepared we are for the move, the better we'll do, generally. Just keep believing that you're going to get through it, and before you know it, it will all be done.

PLANTS ON THE MOVE
Plants can be moved fairly easily in your car, if room is available. It is not recommend that plants be placed on moving vans due to the extreme temperatures that the plants may be subjected to. The following are some suggestions for moving your household plants:
PETS ON THE MOVE
Your pets need unique care and handling to get to their new home. The following are some suggestions for arranging their move:
Cats and Dogs
Small pets such as cats and dogs can be either shipped by air or taken along in the family car. There are also commercial services available for the shipment of pets. Look in your local yellow pages or call your moving company. If you are flying to your new destination, your cat or dog can ride in the baggage compartment. The following is a checklist to review if you plan on using this method:
If you are not flying with your pet but are having it shipped separately by air, make sure someone is available at the other end to pick it up at the airport and care for it until you arrive. If you do not know anyone in the destination location, arrange for a kennel to do it for you. This service can also be provided in the origination location. Some kennels can board the pet several days before you move (keeping safely out of harms way), transport according to regulations, deliver to the airport and arrange to have a kennel on the other end pick up and provide care until you arrive. Consult your vet for recommendations.
If you plan on taking your dog or cat with you on a long cross-country trip, take special precautions. Animals get carsick easily and being restricted in a car all day can make them nervous and upset. Be sure to provide for frequent rest stops. Bring along their water dish, leash and favorite toy. Some motels and hotels have rules against pets. Others have special facilities for handling traveler’s pets. Call in advance and check for available literature on hotels along your route. National chains usually publish such information.
Smaller Pets
Hamsters, birds and similar pets can be transported in the family car fairly easily. Make sure they have enough food and water in their cages and are out of drafts or extreme temperatures. Cover cages with a cloth to keep them quiet
Fish
Fish should not be moved in their aquarium. A gallon of water weighs eight (8) pounds. For short distance moves, fill a plastic bag with aquarium water and place fish within, and then put all the bags of fish into a Styrofoam insulated container for the move itself. For long distance moves, a better arrangement would be to give the fish away and restock the aquarium when you arrive at your new home.
