Default 24 Hours and we are off to Calgary

Yipppeee, its only 24 hours until we fly to Calgary. Have done half of the goodbyes to OH's family, just leaves my family for tomorrow but I guess we'll get through it

Container went 10 days ago and should arrive next Tuesday (ish) so not too bad, it'll be like christmas all over again as some of our stuff has been boxed for the last 2 years!

Anyone out there in McKenzie Towne?? Would love to know how many others have moved to that area?

We have lived in McKenzie Towne now for 18 months and find it a great place. We moved here from Scotland and there is a rather large expat community within the area

Good luck, enjoy the trip...........saying good bye is hard. McKenzie Towne is nice and you are lucky to have a pretty good Fish & Chip shop there too.

I hope your container arrives as you hope................but from experience, don't count on it.

The Fish & Chips are great, you also have the Brit Shop over the road from it for those urgent needs (cheese & onion crisps).

My advice for the container is to make sure you double check the numbers when they are unloading, we were a box down but they bull crapped my wife into saying it was an error at the UK end.
