NO going back now is the right description for me too!

Fly to Vancouver on Jan 10th 2008 start work on the 14th! My husband is coming with me for 10 days and then returning to England to hopefully sell house and cars.

From applying for a transfer through my company to starting work in Canada will have taken less than 3 months, Thnak goodness I have a cousin in the area who I can stay with!!

Will be looking for a house once we sell the house in UK.

Hope there is no problem at immigration although the company has had all paperwork drawn up by legal team I can't help but be a bit apprehensive.

Looking forward to a new life in Canada though.

All the best Skippy...hope you are ok when OH returns to sell the house and karma for a quick sale!

Its all very exciting isn't it?

Hurry up Al, I'm waiting - thank God we haven't got to knock on all those doors to find a place to say hey, get used to that work cos I think they end every sentence with it hey!

Have a good Christmas and goodbyes we'll see you in the New Year.

How are you managing with the dogs?

PS tried to give you Karma but it says I have to spread myself around OOOhhhhhh that sounds interesting

Thanks for the good wishes Alvic

I must admit the house sale is worrying but it will have to go. I feel guilty dumping it all on hubby to do.


Roll on a new life together in Vancouver

Yeah Lorna we dont have to find a rental property, hey!

Dogs and us are all flying on same Zoom flight Man/Calgary and then dogs staying two nights at kennels in Calgary and flying with Westjet on the Monday afternoon. God help them, if they only knew what was ahead of them

We arrive at 10.18am on Sunday 20th - this day month!

What about Archie?

I wouldn't feel guilty - you are doing the move in the reverse of most of the rest of us ladies on BE as we are the ones left to do everything, so good on ya!

Archie stayed over in the kennels in Calgary for 24 hours but he forgot to buy any duty free when he came through, so I've told him he's not travelling on his own again

He's still not well, we'e spent about $600 now and they can't find what's getting at him. our pet insurance from the UK doesn't cover over here and the company I insured him with her have a 21 day clause before they'll pay for anything so Mal has to work harder

hi alvic nice house i have got a interveiw with kindersley jan 08 do you no much about them thanks

Hi momers-boy, welcome to BE and thanks for the house compliment, we still cant believe it is ours.

Congratulations on your interview with Kindersley, that is half the battle

I dont know anything about them, but if you go to this link it is a heaven for truckers. Once there do a search for kindersley, or just ask about kindersley in this part of BE - it is solely dedicated to truckers.

Good luck with the interview - keep us posted
