The move to Kamloops

Well, I have finally done it. I have moved from Prince Rupert back to my home town of Kamloops. Wow what an experience. I managed to get some of my former students to load a UHaul truck with all my belongings and drive back to Kamloops. Getting the truck was a trial in patience. I had reserved the truck for Monday, but on Saturday I got a phone call from the UHaul saying they have my truck but I would have to go to Burns Lake to pick it up. Seriously! Burns Lake! No way. Apparently "they don't guarantee location pick-up". What about customer service? I managed to rearrange things and got a truck in Terrace on Tuesday instead. So Tuesday afternoon, the truck got loaded (creativly) and I headed off to Kamloops.

When I got to Kamloops I managed to find a storage space (apparently large spaces are at a premium)and unloaded the truck and packed full an 8x16 locker. Thankfully my dad and Cherryl were there to help unload.

I flew back to Prince Rupert on Saturday. Actually, I ended up flying to Terrace because the Prince Rupert airport was fogged in. It made for a longer day than I had wished. Oh well. Picked up the dogs, said my farewells and left.

I have to mention that Lauri and Elizabeth have been lifesavers. Not only picking my up at the Highliner, but hiring cleaners for the house, and Lauri is painting away my red walls. They have been amazing. I will miss you guys so much, especially the prime rib dinners.

Well, to all my Prince Rupert family. I will try to update this blog regularly. Miss you all.
