Leaving (again) on a jet plane...
We left UK on Tues, Feb 14 in the afternoon and arrived in Toronto in the evening (how romantic!) Why are we here you ask... Well, it turned out that the company did not get us a visa and we couldn't get a UK Visa ourselves while we were in the UK. We could have gotten an Irish Visa, but the process would take 3 months (way too long) So we're now back in Canada. It takes about 2 weeks to get it processed by the British Embassy in Canada unless we make an appointment and go to the Ottawa embassy in person. So hence, we are now in Ottawa. Leanne picked us up in the airport and we stayed at her place for a night. Then we rented a car for a week and drove to Ottawa on Wed. We booked the Comfort Inn Downtown for 3 nights. Oh my, the room and bed was so big! We've been in Europe for too long. Everything there is so small! We went to the Ottawa embassy on Thursday morning and by noon, we're holding our UK working visa (valid for one year working and two year stay in the UK) Just a quick update for now, more on this later...

Hey, welcome back even though we won't be seeing you. Good luck getting visas and take advantage of the time off from work to watch the Olympics! Go Canada Go!
Naw....watching the Olympics while at work is the way to go. Admittedly, they're not streaming at a terribly high quality...but... it's real time :)
Welcome back to this side of the continent - for now.
Say, you don't know of any live radio I could stream Olympics off of (instead of the local pop/rock station), do you?
Not sure about radio - to be honest the stream at work degrades really badly around hockey time - to the point where it's just an audio feed.
Sorry :(
