Making the most out of your move does not mean you won’t have an occasional irrational moment with your mate! Diminish the anxiety of going crazy reading maps and the stress of fighting traffic in unfamiliar towns; decide ahead of time that you are going to have fun. Being an adult does not mean you cannot engage in silly child-like fun. Make up silly songs about the next town you will live in, or see who can imagine the wildest possible neighbor you will encounter. These activities break up the long hours huddled in an overloaded car, and will break up the stress of driving and silently worrying about the unknown future in a new community… all smart actions in making the most out of your move.
Making the most out of your move does not mean you have to plan it like a business pro. If you play it smart, the whole thing could be one of the best events in your life! If your relocation is being paid for by your company, making the most of your move inspires arranging extra time off from work, turning a much feared trip into a wonderful sightseeing experience. A well-planned agenda allows for a few side trips to visit museums, exotic locations, hiking trails, and old fashioned drive in movies. Break up night driving by getting dressed to the nines and sharing a romantic dinner at the finest restaurant along your route. If you are newlyweds, making the most out of your move might mean that your travel is part of your honeymoon. Delivery of your household items can be scheduled to coincide with your arrival whether you are newlyweds or are relocating because you and your spouse have finally retired after 30 years of work and marriage.
