I really don't think I can plan yet, but here's hopin'.

Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness
[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!
See, you start planning now. You really do. Thing tend to fall into place if you have a plan.
And ROTK won't be the same without you there.
No pressure.
Hey Steve - my brother and his girlfriend are moving to Montreal for September too, and are trying to figure out how best to transport their stuff. Have you already decided everything, or would you be open to the idea of seeing if you could combine your stuff with theirs and get a better deal?
I should note that I have not had to opportunity to suggest this to them, so it might be a no-go anyway. I just thought it was worth suggesting.
So I'm on the bus going to work and there's this BANG and all this white stuff showers into the bus. Turns out that some moron hucked an apple at the OPEN WINDOW and it smashed to bits and covered many of the passengers with apple guts.
What the hell?
Hey, bored girl, your mister is on his way home. Actually, he might be home by now.
He just called. He's on his way. He'll be surprised to see that I've cleaned the whole apartment.
Wow, you really must have been bored.
Ouise, that's definitley a stroke my beard in a thoughtful manner kind of deal. When I checked Uhaul, one of the basic sized trucks ran 600-700$, about half of which would be the cost of the mini van I currently plan on renting. Plus I wouldn't have to try to sell off my ratty furniture.
Advantages:
Your friends would have a lot of room, as I don't have that much stuff anyway.
I could probably get a driver in on the scene if they only have one.
I'd help them unload their stuff when they got there too.
Disadvantages:
Mainly, on this side of the equation, the main thing is that depending on when they were going, I might not actually be there to put my stuff on the truck, as my current plan is to hitch up, leaving on the 21st. Could be a snag.
In short, by all means suggest away, and if it's unfeasible oh well, but if it works out to the benefit of all concerned so much the better.
Mecha, I ran into Ouise tonight and I think that they needed to be in Montreal by the 23rd, which I think fits in very neatly with your plan.
And they are renting a really big truck, so I think that there would be plenty of room.
This could work very well for you, my friend.
The funny thing is, I'll still probably dump a good load of my stuff anyway. I have a lot of holdovers from the hard scrabble days of yore. Served me well, but goods worth carting a third of the way across the country they're not.
Plus, I'm not entirely sanguine about cramming three people into the cab of a uhaul either. Well, in truth I'm not worried about it, except that one of them would be me.
