On Wednesday, May 15th the packers came to our apartment at about 9:30 a.m. and proceeded to pack and carefully wrap our Malacca furniture and all of the plastic bins of personal items that we're shipping back to Keizer.
At about Noon the crew book a break for lunch, and when they returned they were ready to haul all the boxes and other wrapped items down the elevator from our 3rd floor apartment, and into the truck.
The shipping crates will be loaded onto a container ship at Port Klang to be transported to Long Beach, CA, and then to Portland, OR before the journey by truck to Keizer. The estimate is that our shipment should arrive just about the time we return from the D.C. area on July 5th! (We fly out of KL on Friday night, June 7th via Hong Kong, Tokyo and PDX) - rw
