Air VS Sea Dilemma

Before I start my rant about this whole international moving company problem, I just want to let everyone know that Audrey is feeling a bit better, but still having random bouts of stabbing pain in her stomach. Stegen is convinced that it's the recent flu vaccination that's messed the kids up. We kept her home from school today and might have to keep her home again tomorrow.

So Adobe has so kindly given us an air shipment container as well as a sea shipment container to ship our furniture and other belongings to England. They're also putting us up in fully furnished corporate housing for the first 30 days before we need to find a permanent, unfurnished home to move to. The air container shipment takes 4-6 weeks to arrive in England and the sea container takes...wait for it...8-12!! We were advised to use the air container for things that we'll need right away--like pots/pans, extra clothing, and toys.

If your thought process is anything like mine, you're probably assuming they meant to add in "beds" to that list, but maybe just forgot. Well, no. The air container is only 95 cubic feet and can't even hold one bed! So what happens after the 30 days of housing are over and we move to our unfurnished home? Do we sleep on the floor for another 30 days before our beds will (maybe) arrive?

 Thankfully, our relocation agent assured us that she'd try to get us approval for some rental furniture, should our goods not arrive by the time we move into our new home. WHEW! Good ending to the bed troubles, but customs is giving us another headache. Apparently we aren't allowed to ship any of our spices, canned goods, protein powder, dry goods, or any of the self-foaming hand soap that I've spent weeks trying to accumulate from any and all Targets that had them in stock. Ay Caramba! Someone, please... get me a martini.
