We were lucky.  Crossed both oceans and probably had less that $100.00 damage 
total.  We never even put in a claim.   We were very lucky.
Retired now, and don't anticipate any more moves any time soon.
The fun oversees was trying to find the materials to be able to craft with.
Karamursel, Turkey was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in the boonies and we lived 
45 mins from the Base, on dirt roads.
I don't even know if they had a Hobby Shop.
Trying to find a substitute for styrofoam at the time (1963-1965) was fun.
It's one of the reasons I can look at something and find something else to 
use in its place.  Had to learn how to make a lot of substitutions.
Happy crafting,
Donna
