I even have our airports outfits hanging up ready to go including new socks etc. The only reason Im packed is because our 4 year old wanted to try on all her new outfits. So I had to hid them out of sight.
The only thing Ive got left to do is the goods coming in list. I think.

One of my boys is out on his bike, god know's where, the other is in his room playing Xbox. They would happily wear the same clothes for two weeks if it was up to them.
Then again, so would I

Ok, it's 7.24am, the day before we go.
Suppose I'd better get some clothes in a suitcase then![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Main things are passports, tickets and some cash, anything else can be bought.
This will probably still be my attitude if we manage to immigrate![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
But I did promise my wife that I'd get me and the boys haircuts before we headed over, don't want to look like a bunch of damn hippies eh

I've been using the Google street view orange man to walk round the area and look for potential dog walking areas.
I'm a wee bit jealous of you going to Kamloops with all your big rivers and mountains everywhere. We stopped off there about 15 years ago on our way to Calgary. It's very nice.
Hope you love it.

Thanks we are really looking forward to it, we have never actually been there yet. Why have you chosen the area your moving to? I never thought of using the orange man. Might check it out now, although I already know all the dog friendly parks in the area, what did we ever do without google.

We're going to Burlington out of necessity rather than choice as my wife has been offered a transfer to there.
She's been over three times this year on work related visits and loves it, so hopes me and the kids will too.
