Realistic cost of relocating from U.S.

10 years ago
Can any one give me a break down of what would be a realistic amount to save for moving expenses (based on experience). We are not planning on bringing much. Just a very small shipping container (no furniture). Aside for the tickets which will be for a family of 5 (around $7k), obviously first and last month's rent plus deposit for a place(about $3k).

From experience are there any unforeseen expenses that anyone encountered that I should be aware about? Thanks.
