Finally! I have been lurking for a year now and am finally making the move from the Los Angeles area to STX. Does anyoe have any advice on movers and shippers? Can you ship a car in a container?? I am tentatively planning to leave the So Cal area by 5/15/05 (I have to beat the animnal embargo) I appreciate any help from those who have made the move.

During the summer months the airlines don't take any animals. Too hot! You can however, ship thru a air cargo company like Four Star from Miami if you need to do it in the summer.
