Visas done , arriving in edmonton 18th march, flights booked. Tips on travelling with 2 year old and 14 week old would be great??? and anyone else from edmonton. What things are there for me and my kids to do? playgroups?? indoor play areas??
Excited and scared, how long was it til everyones home sickness kicked in and how did you cope with it ?

Stay away from flight BA85.

Best thing for home sickness is a trip back to the UK. That cured my OH, the ne t year we went to the VIrgin Islands. :@)

why?

back in october to get married

That should do it :@)

Because you have little kids and I'll probably be on it.

haha i'll get them a gob stopper each x

Good luck to ya Kerry, enjoy the adventure.

We travelled with a 2 year old on one of our flights. Pack lots of small new things they haven't seen before to amuse them - books, crayons anything like that is good too. We had mini magnetic drawing boards too which were fun. Take some snacks/sweets too; we found that helped sometimes. At that age, ours slept a good deal of the way too which was good.

All the best with the new adventure!

Good luck on your move, in terms of the home sickness it varies for everyone but the thing is as long as you go into it expecting it then it shouldn't hit you as hard because you've mentally prepped yourself.

It can be excrutiating for some and then others take to Canada like a duck takes to water. Hopefully it's the latter for you and your family.

In terms of the anticipation, remember that this may be the last you see of the UK for a while so instead of dreaming of Canada make sure you enjoy yourself there because it's all too easy to sit back and wait for the days to go by instead of doing the things you love about home and make sure you see as much of your loved ones as much as you possibly can!

Good luck again

Good luck with your new life. We have been in cambridge on for 15 months now and still get homesick now and then but it gets easier. Hope you have a good flight and I'm sure if you need someone to look after one of the kids ,oink would love to help
