Are you planning an Arizona road trip? You probably have a couple of places in mind you'd like to visit. But if you've started researching an Arizona itinerary, you've certainly discovered just how many things there are to see and do in a state with everything from deserts to Ponderosa Pine forests to epic outdoor adventures and top-notch foodie experiences. How do you fit it all in?!
In this Arizona road trip itinerary guide, you'll find expert travel advice to help you plan:
- THE ultimate road trip route guaranteed to check off everything on your Arizona bucket list,
- alternative road trip ideas if your time is limited or you want to do an Arizona Utah road trip, and
- tips to navigate Arizona roads with maps and tips for a successful trip.
How to Plan an Epic Arizona Road Trip
Planning a trip to Arizona comes with an endless number of variations depending on how much time you have, what you want to see and whether you choose to fly or drive to Arizona. For the purpose of this Arizona trip planner resource, I've used the 2 closest airports, Phoenix and Las Vegas, to bookend the itinerary.
As you use this guide to plan, you'll see it's easy to do this Arizona trip itinerary in reverse. You can also use parts of this mega route to plan the best road trip in Arizona for your travel plans.
Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
There are a variety of car rental companies from which to rent a car for your trip. I always research rental car costs on Kayak because they compare prices from a variety of websites at the same time.
Your rental car doesn't have to blow the trip budget to bits, either. Save money on your car rental by using my car rental hacks before your trip starts.
Part 1: Southern Arizona Swing
Arizona is one of the states with an endless number of places to see and explore. You can easily plan an itinerary from 5 to 14 days and still not see everything! But that doesn't mean you need to skip the beauty of southern Arizona in order to see the Grand Canyon or Horseshoe Bend. Even if you have one week in Arizona, it's possible to spend a few days exploring the cities and parks that call the Sonoran Desert home before heading north.
Start your Arizona road trip fun in Tempe.
Tempe is full of surprises(!) which makes it the perfect base to explore the Phoenix-Tempe-Scottsdale area. It has a walkable downtown with shops, a delicious food scene, outdoor activities, and ASU cultural offerings like art galleries and science exhibitions.
From downtown, you can hike A-Mountain, kayak in Tempe Town Lake, or rent an electric scooter to explore the public art around town. It's also just a few miles to the Desert Botanical Garden with its amazing display of cactus varieties and to the popular Papago Park where you can hike, bike, and catch a pink-orange hued Arizona sunset. Located in the Sonoran Desert also gives Tempe unique access to horseback riding and off-roading desert experiences.
Tempe also hosts a full calendar of events all year long, be it music festivals, Broadway-caliber theater, Ironman Arizona, ASU football, or Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. Check out the Tempe Tourism calendar if you'd like to time your road trip with a specific event.
Best of all, Tempe's college town vibe comes with affordable hotel choices and easy access to places like the Heard Museum in Phoenix and a day trip to Scottsdale.
Hike Pinnacle Peak in Scottsdale.
Don't leave without exploring Old Town Scottsdale.
Old Town Scottsdale deserves a stop on your Arizona road trip, recommends Jerome Shaw of Travel Boldly. Scottsdale's historic core was once known as Orangedale and was home to citrus groves planted by the Scott brothers on their 640-acre farm. The streets where Scottsdale originated now thrive with art galleries, shops, nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. Old Town Scottsdale is home to the cultural district along with some of the best restaurants in the state.
Scottsdale, located just 5 miles from Tempe and 12 miles from downtown Phoenix, with a population of over 250,000 is the sixth largest city in Arizona. It's made up of four areas: South Scottsdale, Old Town (Downtown), Central Scottsdale and North Scottsdale. The beauty of the Sonoran Desert is also part of Scottsdale, with the Tonto National Forest just north of town.
Should you chose to base yourself in Old Town Scottsdale, the Bespoke Inn is a bed and breakfast within walking distance of Old Town's art galleries and museums. A stay here includes the use of one of their British Pashley bicycles and the attached Virtu Honest Craft, an elegant restaurant voted one of Best Restaurants in America by Esquire Magazine. The restaurant's chef, Gio Osso, has been nominated for several James Beard Awards. Nearby eateries and craft beer breweries like Sel and Two Brothers add to the reasons why Old Town Scottsdale makes a great stop on your Arizona trip.
Day trip to Tortilla Flat.
Drive south to Tucson.
Many of Arizona's main features are found in the northern part of the state, but Arizona has so much to offer throughout the state. Drive south to Tucson, Arizona's second largest city, which shouldn't be missed. An easy two-hour drive south of Phoenix, Tucson has its own personality and plenty of amazing things to do.
The downtown area hosts many of the well-known restaurants, including one of the oldest El Charro Cafe which sports some authentic and delicious Arizonan-Mexican food. Corinne Vail of Roving Vails recommends any of their handmade tamales! Tucson is a fantastic place to road trip for all ages and Tucson is one to add to your must-see city itineraries of the region.
Some great museums are also found in the Tucson area, including the Arizona-Sonoma Desert Museum. It's primarily outdoors, and it highlights the desert animals and plants in the area. It's informative and fun for kids of all ages. The Pima Science and Space Museum, which houses planes from all eras of American history, is another favorite! The highlight here is taking the bus tour through the Air Force Boneyard, where retired military aircraft go to die.
Just 30 minutes away from Tucson, you can also visit the Saguaro National Park, which is one of the best places to really enjoy the tall saguaro cactus vistas. If you plan to visit a few national parks or national monuments along your road trip through Arizona and the American Southwest, save money on entrance fees with the America the Beautiful Pass.
Part 2: The Arizona Desert Meets Ponderosa Pine Forests
If you imagine tall saguaro cacti and hot, open desert when you think of Arizona, this part of the drive will challenge that very notion! Here you'll actually see the transformation from cacti and desert red rocks to evergreen trees and snowcapped mountain peaks the further you climb in elevation. It's one of the most scenic drives in Arizona.
For practical planning purposes, you could drive from the south and stay a night in Prescott or even Sedona. But for the Grand Canyon and other nearby sights, Flagstaff offers the most bang for your time and buck. Its location is only outdone by all the things there are to see and do in and around Flagstaff.
Circle back north to discover Prescott.
You probably haven't heard of Prescott, Arizona, but that's exactly the point. Just an hour north of Phoenix, it's an easy trip full of natural wonders and charm. Appointed by President Lincoln to be the first territorial capital of the Southwest before Arizona was even a state, Prescott is a classic Old West town with the world's oldest rodeo! Home to 600 historically preserved buildings, you can get lost on Whisky Row, drink at the oldest saloon in the state, visit a meadery, and even stay at a converted brothel.
If history's not your jam, there are plenty of open places to play. Boasting over 450 miles of trails, Granite Gardens or Thumb Butte are the best places to catch the sunset, but it's Watson Lake's 6-billion-year-old rainbow rock formations that'll really take your breath away. It makes for one of the best northern Arizona photo-ops, says Lauren Monitz of the DownLO. You can explore by hiking, biking, kayaking or SUPing or by simply meandering the desertscape.
If you come in the summer, Prescott is home to the largest free bluegrass festival in the U.S., but in the winter it's Arizona's official Christmas city so there's really no bad time to visit. They've even been known to get a dusting of snow every now and again. 😉
See Jerome, a former mining ghost town reborn.
Stop to see stunning Sedona.
Use Flagstaff as your northern Arizona base and Grand Canyon gateway.
Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon South Rim is just 90 minutes, which is why 5 of the 6 million people who visit the Grand Canyon every year make Flagstaff their base while in the area. But, Flagstaff is blessed with its own things to see and do making it a must-visit destination all on its own.
Flagstaff is a former railroad and lumber mountain town sitting at an elevation of nearly 7,000 feet! This 4-season northern Arizona destination surrounded by Ponderosa Pine forests has outdoor adventures ranging from hiking and biking to skiing and snowshoeing depending what time of year you visit. It's home to the world-famous Lowell Observatory and 3 spectacular National Monuments including Wupatki, Sunset Crater, and Walnut Canyon.
Historic downtown Flagstaff is home to artsy boutiques, incredible public art, and a top-notch, super-trendy food scene making it a great spot to stroll and recharge after a day of outdoor adventure. Oh, and did I mention, Flagstaff sits along 14 miles of Historic Route 66 and is just 28 miles north of Sedona?!
Depending on your timing, booking a Flagstaff hotel will give you the opportunity to stay in the are for a few days while you take advantage of some of the best Arizona day trips in the state.
Check the Grand Canyon off your bucket list.
Spending the day at the Grand Canyon is simple to do from Flagstaff, especially with your own car. Flagstaff to the South Rim is just 90 minutes. The Grand Canyon is not just one of the most visited U.S. National Parks but it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national treasure.
You can stroll along the rim trail for the perfect Grand Canyon photo-op, venture into the Grand Canyon for a day hike, or use the park shuttle's and/or your own car to visit the prettiest viewpoints along the South Rim. The National Park offers free ranger-led programs and makes for an unforgettable place to watch the sunrise or the sunset. At night, you can even stay to stargaze over the vast dark canyon sky.
Remember to have your America the Beautiful Pass to save money especially if you plan to include any of the nearby national parks on your Arizona road trip, including the national parks in Utah.
Take it easy in Winslow.
Route 66 is THE iconic American road trip route with a history dating back to 1926. It was the first major road to connect many of the towns across the Southwestern United States, including Winslow, Arizona. It makes a great stopping point on your road trip through Northern Arizona including for fantastic Father and Son trips, suggests James Hills of ManTripping.
While there are many towns along this route that boast quirky roadside attractions or natural wonders, Winslow is different. Instead, it was immortalized by the Eagles in 1972 just five years before the I-40 bypass of the town was approved.
As a result, Winslow's fame is focused specifically on the song "Take it Easy" by the Eagles as the towns primary attraction. Residents have embraced it with a great park that has a life-size bronze statue of Glenn Frey, a flatbed Ford, and a mural with the reflection of that truck and that girl taking a look at him. Of course, there's also a giant Route 66 graphic at the intersection and some great souvenir shops to get your "Standin' On The Corner" memorabilia.
ProTip: On the way from Flagstaff to Winslow, make a stop at Meteor Crater National Monument. It's one of the best-proven impact sites on the globe! Both Winslow and Meteor Crater are just about an hour from Flagstaff.
Visit Petrified Forest National Park.
Petrified Forest National Park is an interesting national park, about an hour and a half from Flagstaff. Despite the name, Petrified Forest doesn't have a living forest. Instead, the park gets its name from the millions of fossilized trees found in the area. Around 225 million years ago, Petrified Forest had an amazing sub-tropical forest. Over the years, the trees fell and were preserved. Today, millions of fossilized logs can be found throughout the park.
Located just off I-40, Petrified Forest National Park is part of the Historical Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. The park has one road which starts at I-40 exit 311 and then runs 28 miles to U.S. 180. The road takes about an hour to drive without any stops and is only open from 8 am to 5 pm. This is done to help prevent theft. Sadly, every year about 2 tons of petrified wood is stolen from the park, which is illegal. Every piece that's removed is one less piece for future generations to view.
Your Petrified Forest adventure starts in the northern section of the park. This region is called the Painted Desert, a wilderness area with very few marked hiking trails. Heading down the park road yields more scenic views of the Painted Desert. Stop and visit the historic Painted Desert Inn. Check out Newspaper Rock and a few of the park's petroglyphs. Be sure to take the short hikes out to Blue Forest and Crystal Forest. Both of these trails are well-marked and take you past the famed fossils.
There are no accommodations in the park unless you want to backcountry camp. Otherwise, it makes sense to keep Flagstaff as your base or Chinle, Arizona if you also plan to visit Canyon de Chelly. The park's wilderness area is divided into 5 backcountry zones, which you must get a permit for from the rangers. Jennifer Melroy of National Park Obsessed says, "My favorite section to backcountry camp and visit is the Black Forest."
Part 3: Welcome to the Navajo Nation
This northeastern corner of Arizona combines some of the most classic southwest U.S. landscapes with sacred Navajo Tribal lands. Exploring each of the stops on this segment of your Arizona road trip doesn't require many days. However, sights, gas stations, and full-service towns are far and few between in this area. Keep reading for more tips about driving in Arizona, but prepare for this part of the drive a full tank of gas, water, snacks, and a physical paper map of Arizona as phone signals are not reliable for navigation.
Discover Native American traditions at Canyon de Chelly.
Canyon de Chelly represents the living history of human habitation in the American West. People have lived in the canyon for nearly 5,000 years, longer than anywhere else on the Colorado Plateau. The canyon is characterized by dramatic 600 vertical feet of red rock looming over a narrow valley floor.
Carol Guttery of Wayfaring Views recounts how she went for the landscape but really loved Canyon de Chelly for the cultural history. You can find great red rocks and Anasazi petroglyphs elsewhere in Arizona (like near Sedona). However, the Canyon de Chelly is unique because it is fully managed by the Tribal trust of the Navajo Nation. So, while it's part of the National Park system, you're there as a guest of the Navajo.
This means access to the valley floor is restricted to visitors who take a tour with an authorized Navajo guide or park ranger. The tour is worth it because you'll learn a great deal from your guide about their respect for the Anasazi Navajo traditions and modern farming and ranching life in the canyon.
In addition to touring the bottom of the canyon, you can also drive along the upper cliffs visiting some of the ten overlooks available.
The canyon is about three hours drive northeast of Flagstaff. You can make a loop of Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly and the Petrified Forest. There's a campground on site at the National Park and a few hotel/motels in nearby Chinle. Staying one night is plenty, as long as you give yourself a full day to visit the canyon floor and the overlooks above.
Be in four states at the same time at Four Corners Monument.
Want to visit? You'll need a car, as this spot is kind of in the middle of nowhere. Four Corners Monument was built as a tourist destination, hoping to attract visitors who wanted to be able to be in four different states at one time! The typical photo in Four Corners involves contorting yourself so that each hand and foot is in a different state. (By the way, there's some controversy about the actual state boundaries, but they're generally accepted as being at least mostly correct!)
Be mindful that Four Corners is located quite far from other tourist destinations. There's no close airport or convenient public transportation. It's in the Navajo Nation, and visitors there can also learn about Navajo culture and way of life from locals who staff the park. There's a small visitors center to focus on this, as well as small food and souvenir stalls around the monument. Mobile phone connections are extremely limited, so be prepared to not get a good signal for a while…a.k.a. Take your Instagram photos and upload them later. 😉
In addition, Halef and Michael of The Round the World Guys advise, if you're visiting during the summer months, it can get very hot here. You're in the desert, after all. Don't forget to drink lots of water, bring food, and fill up the gas tank before you go.
Don't miss the iconic mesas and buttes in Navajo Nation's Monument Valley.
Monument Valley sits along the Arizona Utah border within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation Reservation. The orange sandstone rock formations are THE images that spring to mind when imagining the American Southwest.
The Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park allows visitors to do a self-guided drive along the main road through the park to see the most famous buttes and mesas. The road is not paved and quite bumpy in certain sections, but if you take it slow, a regular vehicle can manage it. If you'd like to go beyond the main road to hike or horseback ride, you'll need a Navajo guide to take you.
Plan to stay 1 night in the area either the day before or day of your visit. There are a few Monument Valley hotels but otherwise, the area is remote with few services. Meals are typically available at your accommodations. Gas up on the drive to and before leaving Monument Valley. Gas stations are few and far between.
ProTip: Leaving Monument Valley and on the way to Page, stop to see the cliff-dwellings of the Pueblo people at the "hidden gem" Navajo National Monument.
Part 4: Natural Beauty Beyond the Grand Canyon
Along with the Grand Canyon, photos of the rock formations and canyons in and around Page, Arizona are what inspires travel to this northernmost pocket of the state. If you didn't have time for the road trip segment to Monument Valley mentioned above, it's easy to go from Flagstaff to Page in just about 2 hours.
In addition, if you'd like to connect a Utah Arizona road trip, it's as little as 2 hours beyond Page to Zion National Park and the other spectacular Utah National Parks.
Think Arizona can't get any more beautiful? Plan a stop in Page!
No visit to Page is complete without seeing Horseshoe Bend.
"I can't remember the number of times I've seen a photo of the Horseshoe Bend in Arizona and wondered if it truly could look as amazing in person as it does in photos," said Kristin Addis of Be My Travel Muse. "So when I planned for an epic American Southwest road trip, Horseshoe Bend was naturally included as one of the must-stops in my itinerary."
It really is as amazing as what you see all over Instagram. Maybe better!
Horseshoe Bend is about 3 hours drive away from the Grand Canyon. Drive along Highway 89 until you see a sign for Horseshoe Bend Overlook. Turn in, and you should find the parking lot within a short drive. The lookout point is a super easy and quick walk from the parking lot.
Horseshoe Bend is perfect for sunset. Just be sure to get there about an hour early if you want to stake out a good spot. There are plenty of boulders on the cliff edge that you can perch on until the sun sets. Not sure there are many better places to hang out, either! Just make sure to be careful when taking photos. Horseshoe Bend is 300 meters tall and every year, fatal accidents are reported. No selfie is worth your life! If you want an experience with less of a crowd, you can also visit Horseshoe bend for sunrise.
Take in the water views at Lake Powell.
Go off the grid at White Pocket.
Our pick for the most adventurous Arizona road trip destination is White Pocket and the Paria Canyon Wilderness Area in Northern Arizona," recommend Lance and Laura Longwell of Travel Addicts. But it's more like the ultimate end of the road trip because you can't go any further than this!
About 10 years ago, Microsoft included a photograph of a wavy rock formation in its Windows operating system and suddenly the world went gaga for it. Known as "The Wave," it started a flood of tourists to the Paria Canyon Wilderness Area and visitors to the region. However, not far away, where the road comes to an end, there may be an even more impressive set of formations: White Pocket.
Sitting right on the Arizona-Utah border, White Pocket is a 2 ½ drive from anywhere. The last hour and a half require a 4×4 vehicle and experience driving on tricky sand. But at the end of the road, White Pocket is like no other place on earth. You'll see wavy rock formations, beautiful colored striations in the rock, and formations that look like they've come from another planet. It is spectacular!
Nearby Page, Arizona makes a great base to explore White Pocket and the Paria Canyon. If your travels take you anywhere near Page, the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, or Lake Powell, you're already in the neighborhood
Part 5: Finish in Sin City
If you'd like to drive this epic Arizona road trip from start to finish, plan on (at least) 2 weeks so you have plenty of time to enjoy everything Arizona has to offer. The drive from Page to Las Vegas, NV is about 4 and a half hours.
And during this last part of the drive, you'll be so close to Utah's natural beauty you could easily connect your Arizona road trip and venture into Utah in order to see places like Bryce Canyon and Arches National Parks.
Last stop! Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
Hoover Dam looms large on many a southwest road trip itinerary, advises Warren Dobe of Sling Adventures. Wedged in between the steep rocky walls of Black Canyon, it holds back the mighty Colorado River creating Lake Mead, the largest water reservoir in the USA.
Hoover Dam became operational in 1933 and was the largest concrete structure ever built at the time of construction. It provides both a source of irrigation and hydroelectric power for Arizona, Nevada, and California. Originally named Boulder Dam, it was renamed Hoover Dam in 1947 in honor of the 31st U.S. President, Herbert Hoover.
Over 1 million visitors a year arrive at Hoover Dam to walk across the dam and take the power plant tour held deep within the dam wall. Tickets are sold on a first come first served basis and can only be purchased on the day at the visitor's center.
Apart from taking in the imposing dam wall, power plant tour, and impressive Black Canyon, nearby Lake Mead National Park makes a trip to this remote north-eastern corner of Arizona all the more worthwhile. Boating, camping, hiking, and fishing are all notable pursuits in what is considered one of the USA's most diverse wilderness areas. In particular, there's plenty of birdlife such as the bald eagle and peregrine falcon to spot soaring overhead.
Hoover Dam is also only 40 miles from Las Vegas McCarran Airport and makes sense as the last stop on your Arizona road trip. That is unless you'd like to spend a couple of days celebrating your epic Arizona road trip in Sin City!
Tips for Driving in Arizona
Driving in Arizona and throughout the Southwestern U.S. is not like driving a lot of other states. Yes, there are major highways and well-traveled routes through cities and towns with any amenity a traveler might need.
But, there are also remote roads with few services and spotty (at best) cell phone signals. Lucky for you, I've made plenty of road trip mistakes so you don't have to.
- Keep water and snacks in the car. Plenty of areas will have services for road trippers, but when you're driving along without these road trip essentials without a place to stop, the road will feel endless!
- Always keep your gas tank full. For the same reasons as above and even if you don't really need it, the next gas station could be hours (and hours) away.
- Have an Arizona paper map for when your cell phone signal drops out…and it will drop out.
- Know who to call if your car breaks down. Have your rental car roadside emergency number handy and ask any questions about this service before leaving the car rental office.
- If you're road tripping in the summer, make sure your vehicle's AC is functional before driving off the car rental lot.
- If your road trip is during the winter, remember northern Arizona locations like Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon experience winter. Be sure you have what you need to clean off your car and drive in the snow.
- Lastly, search for the best prices on your car rental using a site like Kayak that pulls in prices from different sites at the same so you can compare your options.

Visionary, thinker, teacher, writer, story-teller, activist, organizer….all appropriate words to describe Leonard (Leibel) Fein, who passed away on Wednesday night at the age of 80.
He is best known for his groundbreaking contributions to American Jewish life, including Moment Magazine, Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger and the National Jewish Coalition for Literacy. He also served as the Director of the Commission on Social Action of the Reform movement and wrote extensively for the Forward and many other publications.
We, however, knew of his greatness even before those accomplishments, because "our" Leibel grew up in the Habonim Labor Zionist youth movement and never tired of reminding others of his background. Beginning as a camper in 1945 at Camp Moshava in Maryland, continuing as a participant in the Habonim Workshop, the movement's gap year program, and serving as Camp Director at Midwest Camp Habonim, Leibel often referred to these building blocks of his progressive Jewish identity, including recently in the Huffington Post.
More than once, I heard him tell the story of learning of the bombing of Hiroshima while at camp and remembering that it was the first time he entered into an "adult political conversation" due to the way it was handled that day by the counselors. At conferences we attended together in the Jewish community, he would often comment on the number of Habonim Dror alumni among the speakers and attendees.
Serving on the Ameinu national Board of Directors with Leibel, I had the opportunity to experience his combined "Thinker-Doer" mentality. As we planned the launch of our The Third Narrative project, we discussed the importance of having strong content on the website from day one. Leibel was thrilled with the new vehicle to amplify the progressive Zionist voice, and he facilitated the cross-posting of a series of articles on Liberal Zionism he organized for the Huffington Post earlier that year. At a recent board meeting discussion on our youth and young adult engagement programs, he was the oldest participant but also the most active in quizzing the twenty somethings on what will attract their cohort to the organization.
When Ameinu honored Leibel in 2009 with our Dreamers and Builders Award, I said in my comments: "Leibel, you represent the ideal of Dugma Ishit, setting a personal example and serving as a role model for me. Your commitment to innovation, to not always writing the popular ideas, to tilting at windmills, is an inspiration to me and many others."
May his memory be a blessing and inspiration to his family, friends and generations to come.

written by Kelli Scott
Each of the shows in the four night NYE run were full of pure joy and amazement, but this night was extra special for so many reasons... you could feel the energy and overwhelming excitement in the air. The night opened up to a "You folks ready to go, or what?" from Jeff, directly followed by a powerful, out of the gate rendition of Danny Barnes' "Pretty Daughter". I knew this show was going to be good from the first note! Jason Carter was the special guest for the night, and he made his presence known from the start. His fiddle sawed back and forth, echoing the beautiful, yet tragic melody of the tune. His tight, short bursts of fiddle action led into long, sad draws of his bow, blending the most awesome harmony of strings. I love the way Jeff's mandolin notes stagger the ebb and flow, creating the refraining rifts of "PD". He was full of energy and putting a little more into each verse.
The electric energy propagated through the theatre, charging us all with an undeniable, unified spark. Ben's bass led into the tale of "Sometimes I've Won". Dave told us how he was ready to "double it down on America" with the birth of his second child. His banjo strings then uniquely screeched out the happy instrumental "Strophe". The ending allowed for a moment of bliss with a musical connection between Jason & Dave. It was "the bee's knees!" ;) Next, rolling in fast like a ragin' tide hitting the shore was "Too Late Now". This was one of the first YMSB songs that hooked me so many years ago. I'm a sucker for those songs about perseverance and determination... also a continual, underlying theme in Austin's writing. Carter's fiddle added so many additional layers followed by Dave's rolling banjo solos - which every time I hear, I can't help but to get the visual of Dave doing his little 'round the circle' dance with his instrument. What a great image!
Adam reminded us all about 'rolling down an empty road' with his classic "Rain Still Falls". He had a perma-smile on his face for the entire four day run. It was so inspiring to see him having so much fun at home surrounded by friends and family. Adam was also visibly enjoying watching Jason play to his left. The crowd then got the famous wiggle put in their step with Shawn Camp's "Damned if the Right One...". Adam's licks set free any reluctance lingering in my soul, resulting in total abandonment. I'm free as a bird to shake it when this one is played. Oh, and did Jason preach us a sermon on that fiddle! It took me right to church; Good Lord, Child! I wanna keep him! The best thing I heard said about Jason Carter after the NYEWinter Tour run was Zach Hightower's quote, "I love Yonder straight with no chaser... BUT... When are they going to break the bad news to the McCourys?" Couldn't have said it better myself!
As expected, the band gave a shout out to the great Mike Auldridge, the dobro player from the Seldom Scene, and played "Maybe You Will Change Your Mind". It's always so fun to enjoy this one with Dorothy. She loves it so much. You can feel her excitement, as she hoists her Kinfolk fan in the air upon the opening notes. This night was no exception! Jeff remarked on Jason's bluegrass fiddle, and gave us all the wonderful news that he would be hitting the road with the boys for part of January. Adam's new, "no-named instrumental" followed. To me, this song is like someone running through a meadow of wildflowers on a sunny summer day. It is very light, bouncy, and free; a very well-crafted tune. Ahhh, and then there it was, the opening strums of the heavy hitting "Don't Worry, Happy Birthday". My eyes automatically looked for (d)Eric Martin to share in the joy of this tune. We all love it so much. December 29, 2012 will always be known as 'the night the Happy Birthday Dance was born'.
Time had come for the ending of the first set. The boys helped us stretch out a bit with the flutters of "Looking Back Over My Shoulder". It's really a symbolic tune... so special. Again, Jason's fiddle floated in at the most perfect moments, adding so much depth and intrigue. It is very easy for me to shut my eyes and get totally lost during the solos of "LBOMS", but the fiddle would awaken and remind me that Carter and his black boots were in the house. "Death Trip" closed the set. It was the most amazing "DT" I've ever heard, not only by the addition of Jason's fiddle, but also by Jeff's little "Funky Bitch" verse in the middle. It made me lose my mind a little! The entire floor was a rockin' dirty dance party.
I met Danielle earlier that day working production. It was so incredibly fun to dance with her, Annie, Dorothy, Cristina, and Jessica. I finally got to meet Ryan and Steph Smith in person. They are so generously kind and add a fun-loving groove to the party! Everywhere I looked there were friendly faces. The energy in the room was completely out of this world. We all define family in different ways, but I'm truly grateful for the 'Law of Attraction' and magnetism that unites the Kinfolk family together ~ Nothing short of MAGIC!
Half-time went by so fast... the boys were coming out on stage before I could get back to my spot. It opened up to "Blue Collar Blues", which we proudly now sing the lyrics as "I love Dorothy's Job". Dot had just made her way back from taking photos to her spot beside me for the moment we had both been waiting for. She and I, along with many other Kinfolk, saw Jason sit in with Yonder at Jomeokee Music Festival this past September in NC. This next tune had been on our minds since then, Jason's version of Hartford's "Vamp in the Middle". That tune is so good, and Jason's deep voice… Oh, MY! He really does make his livin' with a hillbilly fiddle ~
Jeff's strong, defined beats of "Kentucky Mandolin" opened a flood of instrumental string fusion and sheer delight. I love dancing to this tune, and taking a moment to watch all the boys. Adam is really making an emphasis on pulling and bending his strings these days. His notes are bold and they resonate with deep emotions inside the core of my soul. "KY Mando" ended with a big "YEAH!" from Jeff and huge applause from the crowd. The energy was growing. Dave gave us some nice growls and shout outs during "Don't let Your Deal go Down". I always like to say, "If these blues don't leave my mind... I'm gonna listen to that banjo play". ;) Coming through loud and clear were Carter's welcomed draws of the bow across his fiddle strings. There was a small pause for Ben to put down his bass, which could only mean one thing, "Holding". This Hartford cover was taken in stride here in Boulder... cause really, who ain't holdin' in this town? It was really nice to hear Jason pick his solo out.
Now was time for the boys to get down to some serious bluegrass business with another Seldom Scene tribute, "Pan American". Ben said one of the most endearing things I've heard in a really long time, and something I will keep close to my heart. He was talking about the Seldom Scene and Auldridge. He said, "Auldridge's playing was part of a sound I fell in love with. It's a powerful thing, to fall in love with a sound." Typing it now brings a tear to my eye. I think all of us music lovers can feel the power of what Ben is describing. The harmonies showcased in this song are unmatched, and Jason really brought the "Pan American" to life with the howl and moan of his fiddle. It's like the real life blowing whistle of the train as it rolls down the track.
The feel of ragtime and swing was in the air with Dave's "Ripcord Blues". It was so enjoyable to look down the stage to my left towards Rick and Melissa during this tune. They are huge Dave fans, and are happy to tell you, Dave's side = Rage side! They were just getting down dirty and loving every second of this song. It was AWESOME! The fun continued with "My Gal". The theater came to life with claps and stomps in the opening solos. This is such a great sing along song.
Each of the four nights had a theme of a different season, and the theme of the 29th was winter. "Snow on the Pines" couldn't have been a more perfect fit for the evening. Ted's amazing prism of lights illuminated the white, sparkly material acting as snow, and the naked tree branches cast shadows down upon the crowd, providing the feeling of a realistic outdoor environment. "Snow" stood alone, but had a very dark, gritty, earthy jam in the middle, as well as an extra-long dose of Adam's famous porn rifts. ;) As they came out of the jam things got quiet, and the building excitement finally erupted into one of my all-time favorites, "Raleigh & Spencer". Rise and Bloom again, Baby!
The encore opened with many smiles and Thanks. Jeff said they could play a few more. They started with "Night Out". What a way to "fill me up, when I'm down". Jason and Dave met in the middle of the stage to finish out the tune. Then it was time for what has been kindly coined as my theme song, "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke". My honky-tonk heart can relate, but that's only one little piece of my puzzle. ;) The band gave many thanks to Jason for sitting in and remarked on how "he was the best fiddle player in the world". The encore was complete with a fast ass bluegrass number, "Troubled Mind"... leaving us all wanting so much more. Hines so appropriately topped the night off with Nelly's "It's Gettin' Hot in Here"... I danced through the crowd until I found Carin for a little dirty dancing. ;)
It was an honor and a privilege to have Jason Carter sit in for the 29th at the Boulder Theater. He is a true bluegrass gentleman; from his stance, to the way he holds his instrument, right down to his cowboy boots. Not to mention, his amazing talent and ability to saw off a fiddle tune like it's as easy as the warm, gentle wind blowing. He is a true enjoyment and amazing to watch. We would love to have him back, anytime!

Finding the Right Glasses for Your Face
Glasses have become much more than just necessary medical devices. These days, they're every bit as much a fashion accessory as a health aid. So much so, that people who don't even need glasses are buying non-prescription frames, simply as a matter of style. But whether you need glasses or just want them, it's important to find the right glasses for your face shape.
- Rectangle. A rectangular face is characterized by a strong jaw and straight cheekbones. Round glasses or oval frames will add a bit of highlighting contrast to your facial structure, drawing attention to your eyes and softening your features just a bit.
- Circular. Conversely, a circ

If you would like to give any medical history please fill out the attached document below. This information is confidential.
1. Is it normal to be feeling cramps?
A: Yes, cramps like you would feel on your period are normal after having a baby for a few days. Taking ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) can help reduce the pain.
2. Is it normal to be bleeding?
A: Yes, vaginal bleeding after giving birth is normal for up to 8 weeks as long as it is not so heavy that it can soak a super pad in an hour over three or more hours. You may see small clots (the size of a quarter or even a ping-pong ball), but large clots (the size of a tennis ball or larger) are a concern you should have checked out.
3. Is it normal to feel sore when sitting?
A: Yes, however you may have had a tear in your vagina or on the skin between your vagina and anus. If you are having pain with sitting or wiping after using the bathroom, you should have it checked out. Some tears need sewn to heal correctly.
4. Is it normal that I feel sad?
A: Yes and no. A lot of women have brief moments of feeling sad after having a baby and may cry easily. But if you are having trouble eating, trouble sleeping, crying a lot, feeling hopeless, or having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else you need to seek help.
5. What should I do if I make breastmilk?
A: Breasts are designed to begin making milk during pregnancy and after having a baby. To stop the milk, you would need to wear a tight fitting bra (a "sports bra") and avoid anything that might make the milk leak out (like touching your breasts or letting warm water run over your breasts in the shower).
6. What should I be watching out for?
A: The most concerning symptoms after having a baby are FEVER, a bad HEADACHE that does not go away with Tylenol, heavy vaginal BLEEDING, feeling DEPRESSED or ANXIOUS, and having a hard time controlling bowel movements or peeing.
7. If I have a concern, where should I go or whom should I call?
A: Call 911

text: Inclination patterns of natural remanent magnetization (NRM) in Quaternary sediment cores from the Arctic Ocean have been widely used for stratigraphic correlation and the construction of age models, however, shallow and negative NRM inclinations in sediments deposited during the Brunhes Chron in the Arctic Ocean appear to have a partly diagenetic origin. Rock magnetic and mineralogical studies demonstrate the presence of titanomagnetite and titanomaghemite. Thermal demagnetization of the NRM indicates that shallow and negative inclination components are largely "unblocked" below similar to 300 degrees C, consistent with a titanomaghemite remanence carrier. Following earlier studies on the Mendeleev Alpha Ridge, shallow and negative NRM inclination intervals in cores from the Lomonosov Ridge and Yermak Plateau are attributed to partial self-reversed chemical remanent magnetization (CRM) carried by titanomaghemite formed during seafloor oxidation of host (detrital) titanomagnetite grains. Distortion of paleomagnetic records due to seafloor maghemitization appears to be especially important in the perennially ice covered western (Mendeleev Alpha Ridge) and central Arctic Ocean (Lomonosov Ridge) and, to a lesser extent, near the ice edge (Yermak Plateau). On the Yermak Plateau, magnetic grain size parameters mimic the global benthic oxygen isotope record back to at least marine isotope stage 6, implying that magnetic grain size is sensitive to glacial interglacial changes in bottom-current velocity and/or detrital provenance.

Today, Clara turned 18 months old. Can we just take a minute to celebrate that? She's a year and a half on this earth and she is beyond THRIVING. I started this blog the night before.

HUGE milestones today and why I needed to read our story before I wrote it
Almost 18 months old
One of things I've said many times, and I'll say again, is that when Clara pulled through the dark stages I'd wonder what life would look like ahead of us. Would she be on TPN more or less than the many years they predicted? Would she be able to go to school? Walk? Talk? As … Continue reading Almost 18 months old
C's Mission
I am beyond proud of what we've achieved with CJ's Mission so far, but I felt deep down something bigger still had to come. Real change HAS to be made. So I've made CJ's Mission a bit more of an actual thing. CJ's Mission is now a nonprofit organisation with a purpose of supporting, empowering, … Continue reading C's Mission
Having a short gut baby means regular loose bowel movements are normal, sometimes restricting, often requiring extra considerations and planning. But for us gastroenteritis is a whole new level.

There was still something I felt was a challenge though, we weren't where … Continue reading Gastroenteritis…again.
Clara's development at 15 months old
I know I say this every time but I still can't believe I have a 15 month old daughter. It feels so old! And boy, oh boy, is Clara growing up. The 15 month mark seems to have brought on a massive development spurt for Clara. She had a number of unsettled days and nights … Continue reading Clara's development at 15 months old
Switching from formula to Oatly Barista (dairy free milk)
For us, it's not been easy. But the story doesn't begin there. Since Clara's last bout of D&V which ended her in hospital for a day early March, her stools have never quite recovered. Her dirty nappies are looser resulting in 1-2 outfit changes a day. Uncomfortable for her, exhausting for us. It doesn't sound … Continue reading Switching from formula to Oatly Barista (dairy free milk)
Community paediatrics development review
Since Clara turned one I'd been meaning to check when her next review was with her community paediatrician. The role of community paeds with Clara is to check she's meeting her development milestones, considering the start in life she had - both in terms of exposure to hard medical drugs, time spent restricted in a … Continue reading Community paediatrics development review

Appeals court allows Clean Missouri measure to stay on November ballot
Related Story
KANSAS CITY - The Missouri Western District Court of Appeals ruled Friday to allow the Clean Missouri Initiative to stay on the November ballot.
The decision sets the stage for a Nov. 6 vote on the initiative, also known as Amendment One.
The amendment aims to make the Missouri legislature more transparent.
If passed on Nov. 6, the amendment would make the following changes, according to cleanmissouri.org:
eliminate almost all lobbyist gifts in the General Assembly
require legislative records be open to the public
lower campaign contribution limits for state legislative candidates
require politicians to wait two years if they want to become lobbyists
ensure neither political party is given an unfair advantage when new maps are drawn after the next census, by adding criteria for fairness and competitiveness of the overall map, which will be reviewed by a citizen commission and keep compact and contiguous districts
Clean Missouri Communications Director Ben Singer said of Friday's decision in a statement, "We are glad the judges saw through the frivolous arguments of the lobbyists who are terrified of letting Missourians vote on Amendment 1. Reformers across the political spectrum support cleaning up Missouri politics and will be voting yes this November."
Singer said Clean Missouri proponents are active throughout Missouri ahead of the vote. Clean Missouri has a "volunteer army of 1,500-plus volunteers," Singer said.
"People are knocking doors, phone-banking, holding forums, educating the public about why Amendment 1 is so important to clean up our state politics," Singer said.
Daniel Mehan, President and CEO of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, expressed his displeasure with the decision in a statement.
"We are disappointed in today's appeals court decision which makes it more likely Missouri voters will have to decide a deceptive, poorly-drafted amendment," Mehan said. "Today's decision not only keeps Amendment 1 on the November ballot, it also lowers the bar for the process we use to alter our state constitution."
Mehan said he will ask the Missouri Supreme Court to consider taking up the case.
"If Amendment 1 does end up on the ballot, we will work alongside the growing coalition of opponents to educate Missouri voters about how this activist effort could lead to a radical shift in priorities in the Missouri General Assembly, bringing higher taxes and more bureaucratic regulation," Mehan said.
Justin Arnold, General Counsel for the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, echoed this disappointment.
"I think it's important that Missouri voters know what they're voting on," Arnold said. "The way the amendment was drafted was done in such a way that it will confuse voters and they won't really know that they're actually voting on a fundamental and radical change to the electoral process in Missouri."
Arnold said proponents of Amendment 1 currently have no power in Missouri.
"They're not able to win elections or get anything done through the legislature, and so they're trying to do a run-around of the process by trying to redistrict more favorable legislators that will vote for the things that they want," Arnold said.
Singer touted the amendment's bipartisan support.
"Amendment 1 was signed by more than 300,000 Missourians, and has earned the endorsement of Republican, Democratic and Independent reformers from across the state," Singer said.
Mehan is urging voters to vote no on Clean Missouri.
"We will ask Missourians to vote 'no' on Amendment 1 so that we can continue our progress toward making our state business-friendly and competitive for growth," Mehan said.

Iona Enliven Care Home in Oamaru was thrilled to be announced as a category winner during at the 2018 NZACA / EBOS Healthcare Excellence in Care Awards at the NZ Aged Care Association Conference this week.
The Connecting Cultures programme, which has been developed and piloted in partnership with Immigration New Zealand at Iona for the last eighteen months, was entered in the Arjo Training and Staff Development Award Category. Iona was one of three category finalists, before being announced as the category winner.
The pilot programme primarily focused on reducing the number of international staff leaving employment at Iona. Initial results show the programme has reduced this by 75% over two years.
Iona Care Home is a busy place, with over 100 staff, 80 volunteers and 78 residents who live in the facility.
Recognising high staff turnover, the diversity of cultures among staff members and the challenges this brought, Iona Manager Steph Leith knew something needed to be done differently.
The pilot programme was undertaken in partnership with Immigration New Zealand, and involved developing and facilitating inclusion workshops for all staff, and establishing a 'Connecting Cultures' Group. Various staff and external organisations are involved, and a passionate resident is also part of the group.
The aim is to grow respect for different cultures, increase awareness of other cultures (for New Zealanders and international staff), and create a happy, safe environment for residents, staff, and volunteers.
Different cultures are now being celebrated and showcased every two months at Iona – Indian, Filipino and Kiwi cultures have been the focus in recent months. This is done through notice boards explaining aspects of the chosen culture, a food sharing activity / exhibition, and activities with involvement from residents.
Iona Resident Joan stated, "Connecting Cultures gives us more of an insight into the staff cultures…It's a good exercise to learn how other people live and get on."
Feedback, and the results, have been very positive. Iona staff feel there is more connection between cultures, and more understanding of how to avoid unintentionally offending someone of a different culture.
Iona Manager Steph Leith is positive about the impact of the programme and the difference it makes for the Iona staff team and residents, "We must embrace our migrant workforce, and make them feel comfortable because they are a wonderful part of our team and they are increasing in number every year. Without them we wouldn't be able to continue at Iona."
Congratulations to everyone at Iona for helping to spread knowledge, understanding, awareness and respect for all cultures through the Connecting Cultures programme.

The Toxic Attraction Between An Empath And A Narcissist
Empaths and narcissists: an emotionally-draining combination. The possibility for these two types of people to truly bond is nearly impossible, to say the least. And yet, sometimes people with these totally different personality types bond to create a toxic relationship. Here, we explain the toxic attraction between an empath and a narcissist.
Are you an empath or a narcissist? Do you relate to this post? Sound off below.
The one trait that all narcissists share is being wounded. As a result, they seek constant validation.
Empaths are natural healers. They have the ability to sense and absorb other people's pain.
Because empaths don't necessarily know how to protect themselves, they become prime targets for narcissists.
Narcissists are consciously and subconsciously takers— they have the ability to suck the energy out of others.
Empaths will always put themselves into other people's shoes and experience their feelings and emotions, while forgetting that other people may have a very different agenda to their own.
This sort of relationship is toxic, as the empath is constantly giving while the narcissist is always taking—at the total expense of the empath.
This puts the empath into a victim status, retreating further and further into themselves as the narcissist takes over.
The narcissist's agenda is one of manipulation—they need to be in a position where they are in control. On the other hand, the empath's agenda is to love and heal.
The empath will begin to seek love and validation from a narcissist. This will make the narcissist feel worthy.
The lower down an empath becomes, the higher a narcissist will feel.
An empath will know that they are in a destructive relationship, but they usually don't look to blame anyone else.
However, all the empath wanted was someone to take care of and ultimately fix.
This is the weakness that narcissists focus on to get what they want.
An empath is authentic and desperate to live true to their soul's purpose.
A narcissist will struggle to have any connection to their authentic self. Once they've realized that they've lost their ability to control the empath, they will walk away from the relationship.

The reason why divorce records like Divorce Records Volusia County are some of the most requested for records from the government would be because of the fact that these records are the official records of the government in regards to the fact of the divorce of the couple named in the record. This means that these are the best evidences that one could present in order to prove the fact of the divorce, something that is important given that divorce is something that would have effects that would be binding upon the whole world as it is something that would alter the status of the couple who had gotten the divorce.
Strictly speaking, divorce does not actually alter the status of the person who had gotten the divorce, it merely restores their status to what it was prior to the fact of the marriage, but since this change of status carries with it some changes that would be binding upon the world, there is still the need to prove the fact of the divorce, and these records are the best pieces of evidence that could be presented to prove that fact. When the divorce is granted, some of the rights and privileges that were given to the person by reason of the fact of the marriage would be taken away from him, just as some of the rights and privileges that were taken from the person by reason of the fact of the marriage would be restored to the person.
As the official records of the government, these records are afforded the presumption of regularity such that the contents of the records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. There is no obligation on the part of the party presenting the records from having to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, but it must be noted that the presumption is not absolute and may be overturned through the use of competent evidence that would be presented by the party who would claim that the records are false.
Most request for copies of the records are done at the county or local level as there are fewer records here that would have to be checked when the request is made. Note, however, that the reason why there are fewer records here would be because of the fact that these local level sources would only keep copies of records for divorces that were granted within their jurisdiction. As for the method of making the request, that would depend on the office where the request would be made, though it would usually be either through the mail or in person, with both methods having their own associated set of advantages and disadvantages.
Volusia County Divorce Filings are also available online through the use of online databases. Most of these databases are privately owned, hence, they are not official sources, but the information that they could provide would usually be practically the same as that which could be found from the official sources. Still, it must be remembered that any and all information obtained through these databases are not given the presumption of regularity.

By: Jenn Martin – Online Editor
I'm thinking of my friend as I snap a photo of the ice cold beer sitting on the table in front of me (both myself and the bottle have broken a sweat thanks to the uncharacteristically hot Newfoundland summer). He told me to take a picture of an iceberg if I saw one, but I knew August was too late for the real deal in Newfoundland. What I did have, however, was a bottle of Iceberg—a crisp lager served up in an indigo bottle and brewed down in Quidi Vidi, St. John's picturesque fishing village. So, thinking I was quite clever, I sent him the photo.
What I didn't realize was that this first bottle would begin a frustrating love affair with a new beer—a beer that is scarce even in parts of Newfoundland and never shipped to the mainland (except for a brief stint in Alberta). I love St. John's. I've been twice before and will probably soon go back, but knowing there's a perfect beer out there that I can't have is more than I can handle on a hot summer day.
Iceberg is a product of Quidi Vidi Brewery—an award-winning craft beer company that operates out of an old cod fishery building beside a small lake in St. John's. The building, now an unassuming tourism hub, sat empty for four years after the cod moratorium of 1992 decimated the province's most important industry. If not for the brewery, the building may have suffered a more ethereal fate, silently passing from function into folklore like the plethora of lighthouses that line our true north's eastern coast. But rejoice, for now we can enjoy local craft beer, a new provincial legacy.
As you walk up to the spruce clapboard building, you can't help but picture a romantic vision of Newfoundland's past. The narrow harbour conjures images of cod fishing and strong rum, and the first thing that popped into this mainlander's head was the common refrain instructing me to "hip" some people named Sally Thibault and Sally Brown, who were apparently my partners in some crazy dance (the lyrics to "I'se the B'y" have always confounded me, and I don't understand why anyone would fry anything in maggoty butter).
And the sea shanties start coming…
So, singing silently to myself (or not so silently at times) I jostled into the brewery's small storefront to wait for the tastings. It's very rare that I'll like every beer set in front of me (I'm an Irish girl who's a bit ashamed to admit she can't handle her dark beers, especially Guinness), but this tasting was a definite exception. Everything from their signature Iceberg (still my favourite by far) to their, well, everything else, impressed my sometimes picky palate.
Quidi Vidi Brewery celebrates local roots and draws inspiration from local events and identity for their brew. Their 1892 traditional ale is so named after the great fire of St. John's (and pictures a pre-fire cityscape on the bottle), their Viking beer pays homage to an important piece of their history, and their Iceberg brew celebrates Newfoundland's unique natural landscape.
I get to drink beer and learn at the same time
So down to the real question: why is Iceberg beer so crisp and delicious? It's made with 25,000-year-old iceberg water ("duh," I thought to myself). The brewers send out actual barges to hunt down the icebergs that ensure the best tasting water, often reaching as far north as Labrador, and they use rifles to chip away their mark (picture that, for a second). The icebergs are too dangerous to navigate up close, so the term "iceberg hunting" takes on a quite literal meaning.
When I think of this practice I picture a ragtag band of iceberg hunters clad in woolen hats and plaid button-ups setting out to claim the biggest prize. They dally with the mammoth beast and return to the island's shores victorious—heroes who have ensured a steady supply of beer to satiate islanders (and lucky CFAs) for months to come.
Thank you, plaid-clad iceberg men.
And then, it happens again.
I'se The B'y that builds the boat and
I'se The B'y that sails her and
I'se The B'y that catches the (icebergs?) and
Brings 'em home to Liza
And so on…
I sing it to myself with a sense of longing because I sometimes wish I'd been born an islander. They've got the ocean, great music, my favourite Canadian park and hey, they've got great beer.

Moving Advice
Moving can be a very hectic time. Whether moving a business or a home there's a lot to think about. This can often mean the more help you get and the better organised you are, the easier the move. Our guide for removals Manchester offers you a number of things to be aware of to make this transition as smooth as possible.
Choose a Date for AAwest Removals Manchester to Arrive
Picking a specific date can make the move a lot easier, you should know the contract completion date well in advance so schedule a man and van Manchester for it. Before moving check the agreed date is suitable, people often find certain days are great for removals in Manchester.
Friday - allows you the weekend to unpack, though do remember to turn on power and heating in the new property. Bank holiday weekends can add an extra day.
School Holidays - This eases the burden of having to drop and pick children up from school and also allows them to get used to a new area.
Our man and van in Manchester often find removals are good at the end of the month as there's some extra money in the coffers for extra expenses.
Have Time Between Sale and Moving time.
By staggering your sale and move you can have a few extra days to play with which can be used to sort out and underlying issues before the man and van Manchester arrive. This allows you a range of benefits.
Cleaning the new home before you move in
Receive deliveries and also to perhaps install items such as washing machines and dishwashers before the arrival of the man and van.
Home Improvements are also something we find many like to do before our removals Manchester arrive.
Moving your Items
Work out what you want to bring. You may wish to sell some items you don't use on an auction site, or in classified ads.
Make a list of what your removal companies Manchester have brought.
By following our guide for removals. Manchester removal companies will take care of most of the rest of your issues for you and ensure a smooth and care free transition to your new home or office.
