I left my little island on the East Coast and moved to Calgary. Crazy. I can't believe it has been a year already. Plenty of ups and downs but well worth the move I think. I see myself back east eventually but for now I am here... still reluctant to call it home :p

    I've lived in Calgary (well, Airdrie) and Halifax....I loved Alberta, but there will always be a bigger spot in my heart for the east.
    What part of the east are you from?

    Little Island? Are you from PEI? Had my honeymoon there (well the first one)!

    Such a wonderful place :)

    Halifax is a great city. I can see myself living there some day. Yes while Alberta is beautiful and I have gotten to see lots of places out here. There really is no place like the east.

    I needed a change and Calgary is a bit of a boom town plus I have family here.. but believe me there were plenty of times I have asked myself why Calgary? :confused::p

    Congrats on a year! :)

    I've been out here two and a half years and still can't bring myself to call it "home"...even though i plan on staying here for quite sometime, my home will always be on the east coast.

    Wow! It's good to see so many Canadians here...why don't I know any of you?
    It seems I never find any other PJ fans until I'm not in Canada anymore...

    Well now you are getting the brain juices working. We went all over.

    Stayed in

    Well Charlottetown of course
    North Rustico at a beautiful B&B
    And a creepy but very cool Victorian B&B in Souris (I think)

    Souris is actually awesome. My fave beach is about ten minutes past there. Beautiful. May I ask what year you were there? :o

    Haha...I take Travel and Tourism in college and my prof is always talking about how people from Toronto think they're the centre of the world, but people from Calgary KNOW they're the centre of the world.

    Anyone here seen Let's All Hate Toronto?
