Still on Track
 
Hi BE,
Well as Budcolin pointed out Flyglobespan true to their justified reputation have cancelled all mid week flights to Halifax.The excuse being that there has been a dramatic drop in bookings for the states and Canada so they are combining flights.
Halifax here we come on the 8th of August rather than the 5th:confused:
Funnily enough the same thing happened to me with zoom they offered me alternative dates ,fool me i took it ,then got blown out of the water.Surely not again,if this occurs again i doubt it is safe for me and the family to come over (Jonah):eek:Seriously you have got to look at the vibes and boy they look dodgy;)
Well all said and done ,we were able to cancel our original hotel bookings with a full refund,thank the lord.
Have now booked the Marriott Harbourfront for the first 5 nights,any more hassle and the Good Lord has to be taken seriously ,Old Scotia I STAY.

got to get through these 5 12 hour nights.

We are good. Application is progressing, there are a few people just in front of us who are getting their med requests. So i guess we will hear something soon.

Job front is quiet. there are plenty of positions in Alberta, but you have to be legal to have a chance. Got a good contact in Shell, maybe something will work out when I am legal ?

Enjoy your trip, it wont be long until you are there.

JET:)
