Renting a moving truck is going to cost an arm and a leg, then you're going to have to pay for the gas driving it across Canada on top of the rental fee.

If you can cram all your stuff into a pickup truck, it'd probably be a lot cheaper to buy an old, but healthy one and resell it once you're across.

I moved in a rented 10' cube van from Phoenix AZ to Vancouver for about a grand. Budget for two.

The real expense, of course, is the "nice place in Vancouver." I haven't checked on the market there lately, but I think the phrase "through the roof" described it about 10 years ago.

I made my own cross-country move last year (Edmonton to Cape Breton). We shipped some stuff (mostly books) by truck, and it cost about $2,000.

How many records? Records are heavy.

I think it will probably cost you about 5K. But ask Eden, she moved stuff from Vancouver to Halifax.

I think it is an excellent (though definitely expensive) idea!

I think that whatever you do you should bring me with you, I will build a nest in the truck out of records and sleep there. In the day I will regale you with stories of our dinosaur ancestors in space and of blacklit nights at Organix in 2003. It will be fun for all!
