Still packing!!

Just a quick post... still packing.

For those who are interested, thought I'd post our flight schedule. Originally they had suggested going down to Vancouver, onward to Toronto, to Ottawa, up to Iqaluit, and then finally arrival at Resolute. It really is too bad there isn't a direct flight from Whitehorse to Resolute because it really wouldn't be too long of a ride. Obviously the demand isn't there for such a flight, but one could hope they would have arranged a private jet for us! But as luck has it, our hard working Relocation Officer proposed we go through Yellowknife, so now our flight itinerary doesn't even go South of 60. Here's the journey:

  1. Wow, that's quite the itinerary to get to your destination. Our Canada is such a huge country with so few people living here - I think we need to airlift the poor people in Haiti to Canada - such a sad story unfolding down there.

    Enjoy your stops along the way!! Keep us posted!

  2. Quite the journey - over 9 hours in the air, but taking 4 days. I hope you enjoy your stopover in Yellowknife. Will all the baggage be checked through start to finish, or do you have access to some of it at Yellowknife?
    We will certainly be thinking of you and watching for updates.
