what to take when you're moving to the other side of the world...

Here's what I'm planning on taking with me as of right now. Some of this will probably change depending on how much actual costs are to ship things. There are the usual things that you would take with you no matter where you move. Then there are some slightly more unusual things that are going with me because they are either impossible to find in Australia or very expensive! Other things will probably be added as I get closer to leaving and continue learning about things that are available.

1. Clothes and shoes - mostly things for spring, summer, fall weather as winter weather can be warmer than summer weather in NY. I'll stock up on a couple pairs of extra jeans and make sure I have all the shoes I could need as both are $$$ over there.
2. Toiletries - including extras of anything that I couldn't live without. This also includes makeup even though I rarely wear it cuz that's $$$ over there too.
3. Sheets, blankets, towels - things that will make it feel a little more like home.
4. My silicon pans - I like to bake :P
5. Semi-sweet chocolate chips (and maybe some other flavors) - see above. Generally all that is available is milk, dark and white chocolate chips.
6. Laptop and accessories - for skype!
7. Very clean camping gear - customs doesn't like foreign dirt and I like to camp :P
8. Climbing gear - I like climbing too :) and there's lots of rock
9. Camera
10. Dvds
11. Dominion and maybe other games - maybe I'm a little nerdy :P
12. Reese's pb cups - not available
13. OTC drugs - some things not available, others just very $$$

That's about all I can think of for now... as I said though earlier, I'm sure more will probably get added. :P
