From the start we were behind 11 hours... There was no time for site seeing during the trip or anything - we had to catch ferry on the 13th. We did not sleep much during the trip and I was so sick and tired of following that U-haul truck for over 1600 miles...
Mom spotted a lovely place for a lunch
and after all we did catch ferry to the Island right on time. I was a little disappointed because of lack of turkey sandwiches (at least!) on the ferry, burger with french fries had to do for Thanksgiving supper.
To make a long story short, everything else went as planned. I am so tired and have tons of unpacking to do but we are all happy to be here. The house is lovely with a gorgeous ocean view, Frosty has a new neighbourhood to discover and new rules to learn. I'm hoping for a stitchy night soon.
So long my friends,
Evalina
Best of luck in your new home. I love Vancouver island. There are so many beautiful places on the island.

ReplyDeleteWow! Very exciting! I look forward to learning more about your new home.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your move, sounds like you live in a wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteYou took me by surprise with the move, too. It seems you are a fine bunch of planners and packers, and drivers. Looking forward to your changes!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the coast! It's beautiful down here and a lot warmer, albeit wet. If you come to Vancouver let me know and we can meet for coffee!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new home. I truly understand the long hours and miles ( we drove 6 days and 3000 mile) so it is time for you to relax and unwind.
Best wishes for much happiness in your new home

ReplyDeletePhew, what a trip! Congrats on your move and new home... good luck on getting settled quickly!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's quite the trip. Vancouver Island is beautiful - I'm jealous of your ocean view! I used to live in Victoria and my parents still live around there. Sometimes I miss is so much - it's so peaceful:)

ReplyDeleteOh Evalina, I didn't know that you were going to move! Are you a gardener? I have some gorgeous gardening photos from Vancouver Island, I think it is supposed to be heaven for roses. Enjoy your new home, and I hope to see lots of pictures!

Welcome back to B.C.! Beautiful part of the Island you've chosen. Glad you all made it safe and sound and I'm looking forward to pictures.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and best wishes with your new home. It sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow! Big move! I cannot believe that you are leaving the Yukon! I will no have to read back over your blog to find out the whys and wherefores (I have been a bit remiss in keeping up with your news lately!)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Island!! I hope that you'll be able to come up for a visit! Maybe in the spring, when we have a lot of baby goats to play with!! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the move, hope you settle in soon and show us some photos of the new area. Your journey makes me realise just how big Canada is. Last time I travelled for 36 hours I crossed five countries from England to East Germany!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the island..... .let me know when you are settled and we can meet for lunch !!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and congrats on your move. Nice to think of you in warmer climates.
ReplyDeleteWishing you much happiness and peace in your new home! All the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you have left when we had just met. You have moved to another beautiful place though. Enjoy your new life there. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very behind on blog reading but wanted to say congratulations on the move. It sounds like your new place is lovely! I would adore having an ocean view.
