Hi Dave

Congratulations!! Your visa has been issued really quickly, just shows what a difference a job offer can do to the processing time.

We are going on our recce trip on Friday, can't wait! Hubby is meeting his future boss in North Vancouver, and then we are heading to Calgary via the Rockies.

Have you sold your house in the UK?

Here's to your new life in Calgary :beer:

I have to admit, I haven't actually been!! ... and if I did I would cadge one of my sons' free tickets :P

But both the lads are working there today, so if you go, Andrew is operating "Chaos" all day, so I'd avoid that, and Ian is on the putting green ..... which should be safe at least!! :D

(Sorry boys) :p
