Just askin'

Clothes, sort out the ones you really absolutly have to keep, and send them via DHL [forget UPS, far too expensive]. You can get a large suitcase sized box [about 21 kgs] worth of stuff shipped for £60, or $120. This I know because I've done it [in the reverse direction]. But it still works out easier to bring them with you.
Incidently, if time isn't totally a factor, look into going via liner not airplane.
1] the security restrictions are far more permissive
2] You can bring more stuff with you, probably the computers inc.
3] the price is about the same. [and if you go early season, maybe cheaper].
4] 6hrs flying coach, or 6 days in 4star luxury [meals inc], you choose!
Good luck, and I hope we get the chance to hang out together at some point!

I was a Callie from '93 to '95, and kitten was the first person I ever really talked to online. Bad times, but good memories.

Well, not really.
No more than anyone else within a ten mile radius.
I'm completely safe, really. [twitch, twitch]
