Practice! Since November 1988, I have moved
Copenhagen-Bangkok-Copenhagen-Hong Kong-Tokyo-Yokohama-Bangkok-Kuala
Lumpur-Bangkok-Manila-Bangkok and now adding Singapore to the chain :-)

That of course fails to count the INTERNAL moves, such as when switching
house or apartment in Bangkok (at least 4 times that I can remember), and
once in Tokyo. So I guess this will be my 17th move in a little over 12
years. And we haven't counted Soyong's moves either, although her record is
not quite so impressive. I guess we have 22 moves or so between us :-)

It's not that we enjoy it, but it does get to the point where you have it
dowsn to a fine art. It also helps that every single move has been paid for
by a company, and the movers usually send an army of people over to pack
everything and take it away. Then they unpack it, position it and clean up
after themselves in the other end. This basically leaves you with the task
of hanging pictures, and even that can be taken care of by a handyman for
less than $50 :-)

Absolutely not! There are direct flights from Singapore to Phuket. I would
guess that its a shorter flight than Chattanooga-Cozumel :-)
