Relocated from New York to Atlanta. Here are 5 things I'm glad I did to make the move easier, and 5 things I regret.

A writer describes moving from New York City to Atlanta with her husband and dog in June 2026, saying they’re mostly settled after more than a month. The article highlights an about 1,000-mile relocation and reports the move as largely successful, though with regrets. On the positive side, she credits early planning starting nearly a year in advance, breaking tasks into stages, and packing over about two months. For moving logistics, they used a “consolidated move” with professional movers rather than driving a U-Haul, paying a little over $4,000. However, delivery timelines proved off: the company estimated two to 14 business days, but it took 15 business days (24 actual), with difficulty getting updates.
