The move is complete. The trip begins.

Okay, okay, I'm writing. I'm writing. Everything happens so fast when we're on the road. We seem to have less time to collect ourselves. Hopefully, that will change.

Monday, we moved the last stuff out of our house and into storage, handed over the keys to our house and caught a plane from Montreal to Vancouver where we will spend around six weeks. We had a good flight despite the fact that a storm came up while we were waiting in line on the runway. The rain poured down and the winds shook the plane while lightning flashed in the sky. But it cleared up quickly and the rest of the flight was uneventful. Except for the huge, noisy man who kept trying to pick fights with everyone. The hockey playoffs were on - the finals - so the staff kept the TVs on for as long as possible while the plane was landing. We didn't get to see the final goal though.

Lawrence came to pick us up at the airport, and luckily he had his truck which was big enough to carry all of our luggage. We lost a few things while getting on the plane though - a bottle of wine and two bottles of organic maple syrup. We had forgotten that you can't bring liquids on a plane anymore. In fact, we had also brought Morgane's scissors (which they let us keep) and Ghis's knife (which he went back to check-in). My mom and stepdad also came to the airport
