I did the cross country move last June -- DC to Seattle. I spent MONTHS dumping old stuff and packing. At first, I was like, "This has some value, I'll ebay/craigslist it!" But by the end, I was exhausted and just started donating or dumping stuff, even some pretty nice stuff.

On the other hand, I live in the PNW again, my commute has gone from 3 hours a day to 35 minutes a day, and I'm surrounded by a culture that makes sense to me again. So it was painful, but absolutely worth it.
