cross-country move
Interstate household transplant
A cross-country move is relocating one's household across a significant distance, typically from one region of a country to another rather than within the same metropolitan area.
The term implies the logistics of long-distance moving—hiring movers, driving for days, shipping belongings: The cross-country move from Boston to Seattle took everything out of us.
