Hi from Chilliwack
We finally arrived on 27th Feb and so far so good. Dogs arrived a day later looking alot better than us and full of bounce and voice.
Apart from being cooped up in a hotel until 14th April were trying to make the best of it - Kids eating loads of junk. Container arriving today and have sorted a storage facility so should be fun as we are unloading ourselves. OH started work 2 weeks ago and took a little while for him to understand what his colleagues were saying but starting to feel at home. Keep getting asked if were from Australia - were from Wilts and Somerset so maybe it's our twang.
If there are any other newbies to the area who want to chat or meetup - would be great to hear from you and hear your experiences.

Hi there
I am sure there is a semi-regular meet-up of Chilliwack expats. http://britishexpats.com/forum/calen...-2-8&e=337&c=1
