Re: We did it.. LANDED... we are here... OMG
I was at Windsor Crossings last night, thought of you as I drove back along Cousineau and gave you a virtual wave.
Hi, amongst everything, totally forgot about the location bit.
We are not in LaSalle yet, signing on Monday, fingers crossed the builder finishes all his stuff. Better had, coz we spent today buying stuff, Teppermans, Sears, The Brick and Jysk; all to be delivery on wednesday!
Still not sure about phone/broadband/tv, apparently we cant get the whole lot from cogaco? So we will have to split it some how.
Will talk to you soon.

It still does not feel real!
After 23 hours travel, Bingley - Manchester - Chicago - Detroit - Windsor; plus snow, ice storms and delays! We made it.
Boarder control and customs were great, really helpful and even entertained the little ones who were very ratty and tired.
So far we have done the walk through with the builder on the house, surrendered UK license for Ontario ones, got Insurance, car house, life, signed the mortgage, bought a car and now I'm off shopping for furniture! Aagh; not had minute to breath let alone sleep. but hey we are here.
The goods to follow are still in Montreal, so we wont get them for Christmas, but at least we are able to stay with relatives.
So good luck to everyone else playing the waiting game, have faith, you will make it.... eventually.
