Advice for newbie

I wrap some casseroles and pans in bubble wrap and then kind of wedge things together vertically in one of my cabinets. I also pack soft things (dish towels, tablecloth) in the microwave to keep the glass turntable snug.

Part of our pre-go routine includes remembering to check the refrigerator - locked plus a pin - because it WILL fly open otherwise going around a sharp turn, spilling stuff all over the floor.
