Re: whats the weirdest thing someone has said to you about moving...

I think people just want "approval" from their families. Not wishing for them to fail miserably and come crawling back, so they can be smug and say I told you so. Two sides to every story I guess.

Re: Anyone ever used Hotwire.com?

I've used hotwire on numerous occasions too, if your not particularly bothered where you stay on a specific street then its a good deal. It just gives you a general idea where you might be staying.

Re: landing and opening a bank account - credit rating?

Bitter and twisted arn't the words. I bet they have never been to anywhere in Canada? Or even travelled? You can only use that kind of negativity as energy to succeed and prove them wrong.

Re: whats the weirdest thing someone has said to you about moving...

The best I've had is "what if it doesn't work out". To me that's like saying why dont I never take a risk in my life and then start saying "if only" when your old and knackered.
