@GottaLaff My husband and I moved to Canada almost four years ago, settling here in BC. We have loved it!

@adam You too? Where in BC?

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@adam Oh, I see Vancouver in your bio.

We'll be neighbors! We're going to Port Moody

@GottaLaff Welcome neighbour, Port Moody is a pretty spot!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@adam It really is. We've lived there part time for nearly 2 years.

@GottaLaff How did you get into Canada? I’ve been told it’s difficult

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Skyye Here you go! It wasn’t easy.

@GottaLaff welcome to BC in roughly a month! I don't know where you're moving to, but if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer what I can.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@propersquid Very kind. We’ve lived there part time since 2022.

Port Moody.

Thank you so much.

@propersquid@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff oh nice! I used to live near there. There was a great Mexican place called Charlie's on St John's Street, but they retired a year or so ago, and I'm still sad.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@propersquid Aw man. I hate when that happens.

@GottaLaff welcome to beautiful BC ! We two California transplants can recommend it.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@maggiemartin We’re twins!

Yes, agree. We’ve had a townhouse there for 2 years. We love it.

@GottaLaff If you make it to the Okanagan, we'll take you for a beer (or wine, or ...) Bon Voyage

@GottaLaff Hope you've brushed up on your metric system. 😉

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@ottawasteph I still have to keep converting in my head. One of these days…

ottawasteph ,
@ottawasteph@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff Remember, only the U.S. uses fahrenheit.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@ottawasteph I know, I know. I'm trying. But we haven't been in BC consistently enough to get used to it yet. That starts in May.

@GottaLaff @ottawasteph haha, good luck, I went to school here and started learning metric in grade school (After learning Imperial. Metric had just been mandated). Still feel awkward using metric for some things.
Well to be fair I know it Ok for some things.

@GottaLaff We are nearing the end of our cross-country drive, #OperationRelocationToNewMexico. So far it has gone smoothly. I wish you the same for the countdown period and the move.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@heidilifeldman Thank you so much! I’m so glad your move has gone well, that’s HUGE.

Keep me posted!

heidilifeldman ,
@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Our belongings are following us - the next tumult will be when they arrive!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@heidilifeldman Oy. That’s no fun. We’re using Pods. They’ll be stored in a nearby town until we buy a house

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff @heidilifeldman I love the day the stuff arrives! (With others doing the carrying, for sure 😂) It's like Christmas, but the boxes are bigger!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@deborahh Lol. @heidilifeldman

heidilifeldman ,
@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social avatar

@deborahh One fun aspect of moving is that the change of scene makes all one’s furnishings seem new. @GottaLaff

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@heidilifeldman Right? I hope we find a place that'll accommodate our stuff. @deborahh

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff @heidilifeldman if not, you can make somebody happy by giving it away. Win-win 😁

Your new home will be beautiful.
#oracle #iSeeAll 🤣

@deborahh We've already given away about half of our furniture. @heidilifeldman
