Moving to Juneau... any cheaper way?

Rek T · 12-05-2007, 02:09 PM

I have 3 months to get everything together. (my wife did a "voluntary" transfer) Now I need to plan and pay for a move from Albuquerque New Mexico to Juneau. The lowest I have gotten down to is $5210. That's 1683 for a U-haul and 3527 for the ferry from Bellingham. I haven't even tried to calculate food, hotel, and gas. Does anyone know of a cheaper option?

Shop the U-Haul... or buy a trailer and sell it when you get to Juneau. other than that you are looking at it in the eye.

Nope, only way to get into Juneau is by Air or Boat, and a ferry would be alot cheaper than a plane. So you made the right choice.

You mentioned Voluntary transfer. Is our military in Juneau? I hadn't heard of anybody up there except Sosus.
