Migration: And so it begins…
Pepito is moving to Spain. While the human (and canine) members of our musical troupe are traveling by plane, the rest of Pepito, shown below, is traveling by cargo ship.
We are using a company called Shipping International. Their representative, Nadia, who has been very helpful, gave us a receipt this morning, and told us to take our stuff to Safepak International shown below.
20 units. Itemized. Labeled. 3pm.
Fully loaded.

Marc’s car, loaded.
SafePak International. The palletizing place by San Francisco airport in South San Francisco.
One-half of our shipment.
The contents are being taped together before the “palletizing” experts do their Tetris® magic sometime next week.
The other half of our shipment. When I asked how a single crate would be made from these two palettes, I was told that professionals would expertly arrange our belongings by weight and the writing on the boxes.
I wish I could photograph them at work. Do they use x-ray glasses to stack my boxes? Because, they didn’t ask me for my itemized list.
Back to San Francisco. 5pm.
