Yes, I've thought about storage, but just until I get more settled, not long-term. Also about buying a small place in Ireland (perhaps out in the sticks somewhere, where it's cheaper), storing my stuff there, and perhaps renting out a room for the times I won't be there. I did this in Germany during the time I was living in Italy and it worked out very well. Still need to downsize though. I found a number of "de-clutter" sites on the web that have some good ideas.
