My brother’s wife is Canadian. They met in college and have never apart since. All of us went to college in New York, which has to be in the top for places to meet people from other countries. The only place more international for students might be London, I don’t know. It’s funny how certain cities draw the different nationalities for studies. Anyway, her parents are still in Toronto and have just retired. They sold the family home and are moving down to Florida to a condo that they bought years ago and now it is paid for. I think that is such a smart way to plan for retirement. Have a place to go that’s paid for and then sell the house that has appreciated all these years and invest the proceeds so you have money to live on comfortably the rest of your life. My brother and his wife are on their way to Toronto this week to help them pack up the house and get ready to move. Since they have lived in the same house for over 50 years, there is an awful lot of “stuff” to sort through and they will have to get rid of a lot of it. That would be the most stressful part for me - making the decisions to give away or throughout so many of the things that you’ve had around you for years. They have two weeks to get it all done, because they hired a moving company to come the second week of April and load up all their belongings. That’s another very stressful time, watching people walk around with boxes of your stuff and trampling through your home, dismantling everything that you’ve collected and crafted over the years. It can be a really sad time, but I hope they are looking at this as a great opportunity and the next big chapter of their lives starting to unfold. My brother helped find the Toronto Movers by calling different companies and getting estimates from them. He used the internet to search for keywords like Moving Toronto and Moving Service Toronto and came up with a list of about a dozen companies. Imagine how much harder this would have been without the internet! I don’t know how you would get a list of all the moving companies in another country in the first place and then you have to make all those long distance calls to get information. Instead, it was all just a few clicks and a lot of emails, and then a few conversations using toll free numbers. What a difference technology can make! He decided on a company called Miracle Movers. He said he liked their website and he even liked their company name, plus their estimate was reasonable. He didn’t want to take the cheapest quote and felt comfortable with the representative who talked him through the process. They charge hourly for loading and unloading the truck and you can save money for being well prepared, having everything packed and disassembled and ready for them when they get there. Hugs and kudos to my brother and his wife for stepping up and helping her folks with this huge life changing task.
