Before Moving Fill any prescriptions you might have. Ask your doctor for a copy of the prescription you can take to the pharmacist in your new city. Pick up any items you've dropped off to be repaired. If you're traveling by car, be sure to have it completely serviced, and request a full inspection to prevent problems later. You may want to consider having all belts changed or buy extras to take with you.
Broken belts are the most common problem while traveling by car.
Map out your route. It's best to make guaranteed reservations so there will be no chance of losing your accommodations in the event you're delayed. If a motel is filled to capacity, you may find an unsecured reservation will only guarantee the room up the time you reserved. Recheck your address changes to make certain you've notified everyone. Send any needed change of address cards.
