Gosh, it's real now!

Guess the next 5 weeks will fly by.
Have you decided what to do about all your furniture?
Without your OH there there are tough decisions to make about what to take. Is a shipping company going to pack for you?
Must be extra hard when you still have the kids to sort out too.
Hope you manage without too many tears of frustration!
Like many others I can feel loads of excitement and anticipation for you.

Good Luck Mandi Moo - hope everything goes smoothly for you.

A couple of years back we gambled with the Priceline website and ended up with a Holiday Inn for a week south of town (Macleod Trail?) for £19 a night for the room!

I recall that there are also those "suite hotels" where its kinda like a hotel buit self catering and the rates are a bit better than for your usual hotels.

Keep us posted on how it all goes.
Cheers

It's ok. I found one for the 12th for £469, so hopefully I'll be able to get that before it gets fully booked.

I just need to activate my new debit card so I can buy the thing.
