So after much thought and debate and consideration, Peter and I have decided that Bridgewater just isn't the place for us anymore.
-- I can't really find work here that will take full advantage of my Masters Degree (Publishing)
-- Peter's been at HB for 6 years, when he graduated he said he wanted to make 1 video game, he's made 7.
-- We want to live somewhere that we have picked out together and build our life together there
We thought that the next logical step would be Halifax.
So we made some phone calls and I applied to about 10 places looking for work (no replies yet).
We looked at some places to live.
We talked it over with friends and decided that...
WE ARE MOVING TO VANCOUVER.
Step 1) Scout trip
We are going to NYC for my graduation anyway on May 20th for a few days so we decided that it would be cheaper to fly from NYC to VAN for a couple weeks, have some job interviews and scout out neighbourhoods etc... Goal: Get job and find place to live
Step 2) Sell the house here
We have decided to use Property Guys.com to list our house, it is a beautiful house in a nice location Goal: We are hoping to get what we ask for it.
Step 3) Move our stuff out there
- Looking into options like frieght or u-haul or moving company, depends on price and availablity Goal: not spend too much money to haul a few key things we can't live without
Step 4) Move out there
We are planning a 7-10 trip to drive (with dogs) across Canada stopping anywhere we deem interesting and of course, for at least 1 Geocache a day.
Step 5) Fly back for cats and weddings
Goal: get to all weddings in NS and still have sane cats in Van
Logistics are going to be crazy with work end dates and start dates and wedding dates! But we'll make it work!

However...I have always wanted to go to Vancouver...and they do film an awful lot of good shows there....hmmm... :D
I like Vancouver :) Hopefully I'm gonna emmigrate to Canada in a few years, and Vancouver is top of the list of the places I'd want to move to
The BC version is quite nice, I was just there for spring break!
And no backyards to grow a carrot. :laugh:
Oh, avoid taking a wrong turn at gastown (sp).
croxis: you'll have to come visit!
I'll be flying through Seattle on my way by, anyone going to be there on June 8th?
You can also visit tyvar and myself if you come down our way too!
Sadly I am in class June 8th :( If it was a week later it be a great day for a road trip!
good luck is manufactured, looks like you wont have any problems making some
have fun
I have to give you kudos for picking up and moving across the country. I hated even moving just across town.

So true. Moving all the way across the country also forces you to do everything at once. Moving partways across town allows you to move in small batches, and while that seems easier, it really takes more time and effort that way.
