Talking We're on our way

We have confirmation our house sale will complete on Friday 15th, woohoo. It feels like we've been in limbo since Christmas, more delays than British Rail

Looking at flights for Tuesday 19th to Halifax NS, we can't wait, getting excited now.

Just got to do our Goods To Follow list, arrgh, night out on Saturday with friends and a meal with our parents and kids on Sunday

Cool, thanks. As a Truckers WAG who's not allowed to work for 6 months I should have plenty of time to keep the blog updated

Cheers Davie, we hope to visit PEI during the warmer months . Good Luck with the house sale, that's prob been the biggest nightmare we've had. Oh and making sure our kids are settled at relatives here till they finish college.

Rod will be working for Clarkes transport, Bayers Lake. Initially we'll stay with friends in Wellington, until he is on the road then we'll both hit the highway, I'll take lots of photos and generally do nothing

We're going to speak to HR at Clarkes, looking at being a hubby and wife team until kids decide what they are doing. I have my HGV class 2 licence here, so why not

Good Luck to all and hope to see you on the highways of Canada.

Thanks again for all your best wishes.

Collecting the Work Permit at Halifax airport was a walk in the park, Rod got a 2yr work permit and I got a 2yr visitor permit all sorted within 15 minutes, other folks were still collecting their luggage from the carousel

On Wednesday we met Rod's new employer, sorted SIN number, medicare and ID cards.

Today we bought a cell phone (thanks June), took SIN number etc to employer. Mentioned to Vaughan, Rods boss, we need to find a car and within 5 minutes he'd phoned a few people and got us what we wanted at the price we had pre-set.

All in all a busy but productive couple of days, I would say we are hitting the slopes tomorrow but where's all the snow gone

Its a bit hit and miss when we get the internet at the moment.
Thanks again guys
