There is only about a week left until the big moving day, and the excitement is probably setting in, but there are still a few tasks to handle before you go on the road.

Arrange Your Belongings
Now is a good time to arrange your belongings and to put aside the items that you plan to bring with you. The quantity of clothes and supplies you bring with you will depend on the period of time it will take your moving company to deliver everything.

You should bring important items such as traveler checks, toilet paper, contact lenses, medication and your moving guide that you created several weeks ago. Your important credentials and other information such as social security cards and any financial documents should be brought along with you in addition to valuables such as jewelry.

Your long distance movers should be able to offer you a guaranteed delivery date service that would allow you the benefit to decide when your items are delivered. If you decide not to purchase a guaranteed delivery date service, you should plan wisely and prepare to be flexible with any unforeseen delays. Pack plenty of clothes to endure if your delivery is a little late, as it is always best to have more than you think you need. It would be appropriate to plan ahead and pack these items in a box that is labeled "do not load."

Kitchen Plans
During these last several days, you should have your kitchen empty and cleaned. You should also consider your last few nights and figure out an easy meal plan.

Traveling Plans
If you haven’t done so already, make confirmation on all travel arrangements such as flights, hotel, rental cars, etc. Flexibility is important as schedules can change very quickly. Confirm with your hotels that your stay can be flexible, and to prevent any late fees, check with your car rental company as well.

Disassembling Furniture
Another common service that is provided by long distance moving companies is free disassembly of your furniture. If your moving company does not offer this service, disassemble the furniture on your own, or with help. This may not be an easy task, but the more difficult tasks you tackle now, the less stress you will have near the end.
