Packing & Preparation

We need to move a boat-building workshop full of tools, wood, file cabinets from the town of Sidney on the southern end of Vancouver Island, BC., Canada, to Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada. It would all fit inside a 20-foot shipping container or a 20-foot truck.... What is cheapest method: freight company? hiring a U-Haul? buying a container and shipping that? How do you find/choose a freight company? Has anyone shipped heavy tools -- did you build your own wooden boxes, or buy containters pre-made?

I am planning on a 1- to 2-month backpacking trip through Europe (hostels, EuRail, couchsurfing - lol-, etc..) this summer, and I'm trying to find a backpack so I can practice and figure out what I need to bring.

I read to bring anywhere from 30 to 65 L bag, which I found a nice 50-ish L (3350 cu. in.) online. I'll prolly go to a store and try some on, though just to make sure.

The thing is, I'm really into photography, and I was looking at backpacks that have front loading camera pockets for an SLR camera, lenses, memory cards, etc. But, they don't look big enough to take on a long trip like where I'm going.

Does anyone know of any stores/brands/etc.. that offer a 2-in-1 type deal, a great pack to hold a camera & supplies plus all my stuff? If not... what should I do? I really don't wanna throw my stuff in a huge bag... I want the protection, ya know?

Oh.. and if anyone wants to offer any other advice, feel free. This is my first trip, so I'm really nervous! :-)

It would be nice to blend in at least until I open my mouth! What to wear, hairstyle, shoes, things beside the obvious such as carrying a camera.

I'll be traveling to Hong Kong soon and I was wondering if I'd be able to take a pack of Black and Milds with me on my person.

It's basically leaf tobacco, slightly cleaner than cigarettes. They shouldn't show up on the metal detector and drug dogs wouldn't have a fit now would they?

I've been trying to get a renewed id, license, birth certificate before I travel on Amtrak and there's no way I'll be able to get any of the valid forms of id on time. I hear they check licenses on board randomly, do you think they will notice the expired date? If they do will they kick me off in the middle of nowhere?

I have never been on a cruise and am concerned about packing all the wrong things. I have several very nice outfits with capri pants and coordinating knit tops (not tanks or t-shirts) that I would like to bring to wear to dinner. Should I be shopping for skirts?

I'm flying to Orlando from D.C. in March 2008. Will I need a passport then? I have heard people say 'yes' and other's that say 'no.' The government websites are so hard to navigate and find answers on. I called the airport and they said 'no,' but 'can't comment about future changes.' Whatever that means.
Can someone help me out here? If I need one for March, I will have to apply now, since it takes so long apparently to get one.
Thank you.
