Question for those who have used ABF ReloCubes (tips, buy, motel)

[lynn79os]

We are moving in 2 weeks from MN to NYC. We have opted to used ABF Relocubes. In order for our things to arrive when we will be, ABF is picking up the cubes on June 9th. We fly out the 15th. So that means 5 full days without our things - no problem...we'll just live out of our suitcases.

Then I realized...that means all our dishes, pots and pans are gone. Ok-we'll eat out.

Wait, our soap is gone...Ok-I'll buy a disposable dispenser from Target.

My COFFEE maker will be gone. That will be interesting.

Now I'm trying to think of what else will be gone and what we might need to do that week...anything else you can think of to help my overworked brain out? Anyone else ever lived for a week with nothing? Any tips/hints?

Where are you moving in NYC?
Many part of NYC restrict parking (and your cube would be parking).
How are you getting your stuff inside?
Do you have to elevator it up? Have your reservered the Elevator?

Can you go on vacation for a week? rent a condo, how about an extended stay motel - like Best Western - the kinds with kitchens and pots/pans, etc.

Don't forget the dollar store -
you'll need a shower curtain and hooks,
bath towel or two
shampoo
roll of paper towels

where are you sleeping? need sheets/blankets/pillows
