I'm going from Florida to Moscow in about 2 months. Reason why is that my father passed away and left us with nothing but debt and an expensive mortgage. God bless his heart ( I have nothing against him), but my mom decided to take her 3 kids back to her home country and leave everything behind except for what we can carry.
I only have a couple of questions.
- Does anyone have any tips for packing large amounts?
- Can we use boxes instead of luggage if it abides by the limits?
- Should Power supplies (specifically for gaming systems and laptops)go in checked baggage or carry on?
- Will I need adaptors for outlets?
Thank you so much for any and all help! :')

I would suggest re-asking on expatriates.stackexchange.com or some other expat forum (expatfocus.com, for example, is one of many).
I would also consider truly "leaving [almost] everything behind." Set aside what you can't bear to part with and find someone you can trust to sell the rest for you. If what you take is small enough, a company like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. might be better than checked baggage.
If it is a lot, there are companies that will put your stuff in a waterproof container on a cargo ship.
