Plans afoot

So, we're definitely going. On holiday, that is. There has been some issue with my employer, particularly in the matter of timing and length of our trip - originally, we wanted to go for 3 weeks, to give us a real feel for the place, and to go during the aschool holidays, but that has been comprehensively scuppered by the project (sorry, Project) I am now immersed in.

We compromised; we're going to go in the first two weeks of September - probably earlier than the company would like; definitely later, and for less time than we would have liked. But we're going. There is much to plan, but the broad outline is: fly to Vancouver, drive up to PG, and fly back. Given all the uncertainties about where we want to live and so on, we need to take the opportunity to see as many places as we can. At the back of my mind is the big question: what if we hate PG?

I'm also not sure about the prospect of both boys on a 9- or 10-hour flight.
