Why are you coming back? What is wrong with where you are? If nothing wrong, then why come back?

This is the view from my house.



This is the view on the way home to it.


Inspiration enough for me.

good luck, I think you are in the worst part of all this, just before you leave, for me that was the hardest

Where are you heading back to? Im sure there will be a Tim Hortons nearby.
All the exciting things to look forward to like opening up bank accounts, swapping over driving licences, health cards, deciding which TV/Internet/Phone carrier to use and choosing a package etc etc etc
A decision was made to come back for reasons unknown to us so take a deep breath and really look at the reason(s) you decided to come back, accept it and move on.

I used to live in North Van and miss it terribly! Lonsdale Quay, Grouse Mountain, not to mention the rest of Vancouver! It's a wonderful city to live in

The best parts of Van (and the only place I'd live in Van) and hopefully you have a job on the north shore so you don't have to deal with bridges.
