Moving During Holidays- Steps to Make it Easier
All right, when's the best time to pack up and go? You're moving? You would want to go on holiday first because the children are out of school, you have some holiday, and why not? Your second instinct, that of which you ought to go, says nope, wait till the first year is done. This year of course, is different; for months you were all at home working and studying and really you need a shift in the landscape. However, it may be the best call in the long term to wait a couple of weeks.
One thing before we move on to all the reasons for staying through the New Year — in this Covid — you may want to avoid traveling and seeking new people in any way just this year. When do you need to call a moving company then?
Moving
Yeah, during the holidays moving businesses do work, but their teams take time off too. At best, you have to book your movers several weeks in advance; they work with a smaller team from late November to early January, and so do all the others. So wait for everyone to return to the job to prepare your journey. Make sure you have it on the agenda of your competent mover beforehand.
Hotels
This year, families fly through the holidays, regardless of what the CDC says. However, families who might usually fly opt for this year - airlines have severely cut off services, making it a struggle to fly anywhere. Driving means more travel time and overnight on the road, and you should also expect to reserve hotels. Hotels along busy roads are busier than you would ever have imagined over holidays, ensuring that overnight rates rise significantly. Expect to pay a premium of room fare even if you've already reserved a room.
Weather in Winter
As 2020 goes, hurricanes in the Midwest Gulf and blizzards will fight for the attention of the Weather Channel. During the winter months, snow and ice are still a threat and you need a Plan B if a storm arrives when you drive about. The last thing that you need is the basins that you planned to hang around your new chimney so that they could be held back by the freak ice storm.
Here's a bonus, you're sure you don't want to pass this it's your chance to throw out all your old decors and dim bulb strands!
