yeah you're probably better off having a FedEx certified shipper ship it to you once you're there and set up and all. Palo Alto huh? You goin to CSU East Bay or something? That's cool, I love the bay you can have a lot of fun out there. Best place to be in my opinion, minus the ridiculous cost of living. 1 year 8 more months til I separate and head back to NorCal.
