Travel and transport.
Unit 36. Moving.
Hey, Sheena. I haven't seen you for ages. What's new?
Where are you going with all those suitcases?
Hi, Mark. It's been a while since the last time we ran into each other.
I'm bringing these suitcases home to pack because my family is preparing to move across the bay to Port Anderson.
Really? How are you going to transport all your furniture?
I'm not sure. I considered hiring a moving van, but someone told me it might be more convenient to rent a huge container and ship everything across.
The details are a bit complicated because we've got so many boxes.
Well, when my sister and brother-in-law moved to Dallas last year, they sent all their furniture and heavy items by cargo flight.
They hauled it there on a massive cargo plane, then rented a truck and picked it up at the airport after they arrived.
That's interesting, but the problem is that we have so much junk. We might need two cargo planes.
Well, however you get it there, it sounds like you'll need help once you get it to the other side.
I've got a friend there who owns a self-serve truck company. He can rent you a truck at a discount rate.
Which day are you moving?
Next Saturday.
I'm free that day, so I'll help you out. I've still got my small truck, so I can haul some stuff for you, too.
Thanks, Mark. That would be great.
