Use paper plates till all set up. Kitchen of course so you can cook, clean, etc. Schools are out. Airlines are overbooked. Hotels are sold out.
Movers are insanely busy.
It seems everyone tries to plan a move in between school years. Pack some kind of motion sickness prevention if you get carsick or airsick. Pack one day's clothing for all family members in your carry-on bag in case your checked luggage gets lost. If you're traveling with small children, carry pajamas, a favorite toy, book or stuffed animal, and a favorite snack food on the plane with you. If your luggage is ordinary, tie a brightly colored ribbon around the handle of each piece.
