We received the first draft of the house swap agreement, so it's time to start this. We leave in a about a month for a trip that will last just over a year. First we go to Toronto where I will work until April next year. Then I will take a leave for three months and we will travel - we might stick to the plan and see Europe, or maybe we'll change our minds and go to South America. At the end, we will return to Vancouver.
We have arranged to swap our condo in the West End with someone who has a condo downtown Toronto, so next year we can return home. We will travel, avec chat, somewhere between May 17-24 and I will start in our Toronto office on the 26th - same job, different office. Cube space has been somewhat limited lately, so with any luck they will have a place for me to sit.
The last couple of months have been stressful sorting out the details - changing cities, leave, trying to sell, trying to buy, trying to find renters, finding a swap. It seems like it's all coming together, though, and we're at the stage of making sure we see our friends before we go and visiting our favourite places (i.e. restaurants).
So, a new city to explore, and two jaded and bitter Westenders unleashed upon the world.
