You're lucky you have a van. When I made my last big move, all I had was a Dodge Neon. I put the rest of my stuff in storage, and ended up chucking most of it after a while. It made me appreciate the concept of traveling light through life.
Oh dear...yeah, a Neon wouldn't exactly be comfy for carting much!
Yeah...a minivan is probably the ultimate in uncool for a single person, but it does come in handy. Can carry almost as much as a pickup, but with the gas milage of a mid-size car. *And* I can carry seven passengers in a pinch. Not bad.
I've never been one of the cool kids anyhow. ;-)
