tomorrow... if all goes well, we should get our stuff that we shipped from boston. these boxes, to be precise... i wonder whether they still look like that. i hope they do..... may 29 they left our place in the usa, so thats ore than 2 months! i remember some of the things we packed and i am eager to see that stuff again (like the mug above... i cannot comment as to how that came into our possession, but now at least i can pretend, even in amsterdam, i am in the IHOP.... ;) ). the kitchen stuff (like pie pans and my marble dough roller), my sports clothing (3 pairs of running socks is not enough!!), oooh, and of course my shoes... all my shoes..
friday we last minute had to pay some customs fee to ensure they would deliver our stuff tomorrow. apparently the container with our stuff was chosen for a random check, and we had to pay the extra costs for that (100 dollars). quite a bit annoying, and not part of the deal. i hope it doesnt mean they went through all our stuff......
so now its time to sleep. all those boxes somehow have to get up 4 stairs, and we were too cheap to pay the moving company to do that for us...... ah, it will save me from going to the gym to do weight lifting...

I hope you have room for everything. You've mentioned your new kitchen is pretty small.
And, "random checks" that you pay for?? That sounds a little fishy to me.
I agree with Kay; sounds like a rip-off! Hope all arrives intact and in good shape. It'll be like Christmas morning!
Oh, exciting day! To see what you have packed must be a surprise now. And to have your own stuff around again, the shoes! must be so nice. Make some pictures of the boxes again.
Exciting! My daughter moved to Johannesburg a couple of years ago, and the arrival of her "stuff" was always eagerly awaited.
