Just thought I'd post info about the manuals Mal has been given, they may be of some use to those coming to drive in the Province.

Hiya Lorna,

How are things going in Canada? I hope your well.

Hiya Karla, all a bit surreal at the moment. Staying in the hotel with Mal and trying not to sleep lol. Jet lag really got to me.

There a 8 in Mal's group and they spend a long time either in Yanke or on the road practicing. All a bit sameness for Mal as he has driven in the US before and has a Missouri licence. Just a thought for those he have a US licence as long as it's still in complience they can exchange it for a Canadia but you have to get written information from the DMV in the state. I has to be notarised so get it done before you get to Canada.

Going to pop down the road to get my licence changed - is Sask Brits can just transfer your licence without taking a new test. WAG's don't forget they take photo's there and then so glam up

Mal has passed all his written test is doing is break test etc this morning and has his driving test tomorrow or Thursday. after that we will rent a car and go down to Regina to look at some rentals. I'll let you have the details later.

take care

Lorna

Welcome to Canada,shame that your on the wrong side of the Rockies tho hope youre having fun

Lorna_D

Fun! what's that - I am still so tired never had jet lag this bad before even when I flew to San Fransisco

Canadian tele is rubbish, CMT is good and I don't have to pay for it. canadian larger is ok and there are no mountains

There's a great Rodeo bar attached to this hotel but haven't even had the energy to stay up late enough to join the fun. that'll change soon I hope

Wow, CMT and a Rodeo Bar! I'm gonna look at Sask for jobs now!

When I was in Texas, I went to a place that had live country music and attached to it was a Bull Riding arena. It was a great night, the kids loved it!

Have tried getting CMT in the U.K., but no satellite company could do it

they used to have cmt on cable and sky then they started charging extra - that was years ago, they probably had no one to buy it so took it off. you can get it on sky radio but they charge you extra for that as well.

One of the drivers went into the rodeo bar the other night and didn't get out until 4:00am he had a good time by all accounts. they have live bands every weeked you'll have to pop in when you're passing

Hello, yes we made it ok - Mal is still in orientation but it finishes tomorrow. he has is mentored run then but at this moment he doesn't know with whom or where. We are still at the Travlodge in Saskatoon but have a house in Regina Beach over the winter that should be fun NOT - we'll have to get used to the cold snowy winters.

Give us a shout when you're around
