I’ve never purchased a one-way plane ticket before. My flight trips in the past have always constituted visits. I knew that I would unpack my bags in the same place where I had initially stuffed them.
I have already purchased my (round trip) plane ticket to New York City to search for an apartment. The appropriate notations are already in my planner: a long black arrow travels from one week to the next. (I remain hopeful that I shall secure a place to live within seven days. Perhaps my hope is misplaced.)
Though my first day of work in New York City has not yet been confirmed, I am fairly certain of its date.
I am fully aware of my last day in Seattle.
I already know on what date I should will relocate to New York City.
And, yet, I have not bought that one-way ticket.
Apparently, I’m not ready.

You probably know this already, but one-way tickets are (oddly) usually more expensive than round-trip. Therefore, the sooner the better.
Also, Amanda and I are going to try to find a house in St.Paul in 5 days of actual looking (but lined up ahead of time), to *buy*, so hopefully a week in NYC will be sufficient for you to find an apartment.
Or maybe we’re all three of us deluded.

Long time lurker, Maria. Hope the move goes well. On an unrelated note, thought you’d appreciate this:http://www.candychang.com/artdesign/pages/sidewalk_psychiatry.htm

My brother in law buys one-way tickets a lot for his work. He tells me that his one-way tickets have big red lines all over it and he is very often manually searched at airports. Something to think about if you are bringing a lot of carry-on luggage with lots of pockets and zippers. Good luck on your adventure!
