Congratulations! That is the hardest part, and while I won't minimize the difficulty of unpacking, there's something about having all your "stuff" where it now belongs (even if it's not unpacked) that's comforting.
So happy that you're moving into a new place!
Hey!!
Speaking from one who has moved 4000 pounds personal effects to and from the Arctic no less than three times (and can guess the correct weight of a 72 litre rubbermaid tote to within .5 pound) THAT van is no where near full or even half full.
Have fun on the coast

Thanks Shauna ... 'preciate it !!
And, to my beloved Indigo: YES my friend, the van wasn't full in that picture ... there was STILL stuff to go in ... I took a breather and a picture ... YOU should know me better than THAT ... A FULL van is a FULL van ... the second was about 1/3 full, but took most of the day to fill ...
Anyway you slice it though - TOO MUCH CRAP !!!
later,
