Hi all....sorry it's taken so long to post since landing things we have been so busy..... well here goes with the run down.

Flight with Air Transat was great....good food, comfy seats...6hrs 20mins drags abit with 2 young boys though.
Landed in Halifax Intl 20mins early.....got to customs....and welcome to Canada......250 passengers and 1 guy on the counter lol......30 mins later another guy turned up....20 mins later a girl in front collapsed with heat stroke( it was 29degs!!). 10 mins later we were at the counter getting passports stamped by another guy who had appeared.
Got to Immigration....poor girl nearly fainted when i handed her 6 passports and visa's !!!
Very nice girl....sent us off to go get our 3 carts of luggage, travel cot and buggy. Had a drink....waited about an hour in total....no probs all went nice and smoothly.
Got our driver from the car lot....loaded up our wagon and set off for Brookfield.
Sun was beating down all look lovely.....got to where i thought the house was.....no house !!!!!
30 mins later driving up and down hwy remembered it was the other side of town.
Pulled up to our lovely house and half the neighbourhood to greet us...how nice...but we were all sooo tired. Went for a walk in our back yard second day....walked for an hour through forest tracks and gravel tracks....still no end or life !!! lol beautiful !!!
Weather has been in the 20's most of the week...rained heavily yesterday but warm.
Seen lots of wildlife in our yard....deer, snow rabbits, groundhogs.....even a dead black bear up the road !!
Any way all settled in furniture arrives tomorrow, we have bought a car, got SIN numbers, signed up with phone, elec, fuel etc......oh by the way....warning to all.....be prepared to put down deposits/security for everything....everyone wanted money off us....some large amounts too.
Have no internet yet as we live sooo far out in the sticks they have only just found electricity lol
Bought a blackberry mobile but that works in one spot in our house lol....supposedly upgrading in the summertime.
If anyone wants to contact me for info etc....you can email me at [email protected]. and i'll try to answer asap.

I just LOVE the idea of going for a walk in your back garden.... for me to spend that much time walking in my garden I would be wearing patches in the grass!

Sounds wonderful! Good luck to you all. Keep in touch when you can.
