Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

Home Sweet Home!

We had a horribly early start. All 3 flights we had today were slightly delayed. On arrival in Miami we sat on the tarmac for 50 minutes as the gate wasn’t ready. We were told, by several ground staff, that our bags would be waiting for us in Canada and not to pick them up. Our bags weren’t waiting for us in Toronto. Our final short flight to Ottawa was comical. We arrived and spent the next 45 minutes standing in the aisle waiting for them to figure out how to open the door. Seriously. Apparently it is a new plane and they managed to deploy the emergency slide blocking the door. We felt like goldfish in a bowl as lots of maintenance crew were standing around the plane staring at us. Finally we were let out via the back door. When we eventually got home exhausted we were once again kept awake by the git upstairs. It was great to be back!
