Default 6 days to go!!!

Hi all!!!!!

6 days to go until we land in Calgary!!!!!! House-check, car-check, job for Paul-check, stuff shipped-check, money transfer-check, scared sh*tless-check !!!

For those in McKenzie Towne, prepare yourselves for some serious drinking.

Keep in touch

Paul and Dawn

Trust me, we were just as nervous (probably more so!) but it's worth it for the moment when the immigration man says "Welcome to Canada". Good luck, and I hope it all works out.

Thanks for all your well wishes! Just 2 days to go now! I think only those who have done it will know how we're feeling right now!!

Good luck!! Whereabouts in Kent do you come from???

Hubby and I are in Larkfield, near Maidstone. We have landed but had to come back to finalise last few remaining bits. We are going to Cambridge, Ontario!

We're currently living with Paul's parents in Crockenhill (near Swanley). We sold our house in Dartford just before Christmas. It certainly is a small world! Good luck with your move!

Definitely! Well hope everything goes well for you out in Canada. It still amazes me that we got in, and that there are so many of us wantng a better life than the UK!

Bit philosophical that part!!!
