Well, we're nearly all packed, house is almost empty, just a bath panel to fit (!) then a quick tidy up and we are outta here and flying to Calgary on Wednesday.

Managed to sign all the house sale papers at the solicitors today and hope to exchange soon

Just starting to get the jitters now - have been too busy over the last few weeks to realise that I am starting a new job next Tuesday

Looking forward to meeting some of the Calgary/Alberta bunch in person in the near future.

SEE YOU ON THE "OTHER SIDE" !!!
