Moving on…
After two memorable years in Hay River, my girlfriend and I have decided it’s time to move on.
Tomorrow morning we leave to begin a cross-country trip to Halifax – our new home. My father recently moved there for work (my mom will join him when the house back home gets sold) and my girlfriend Leanne just got offered a great job there too.
I’m feeling a mix of excitement and sadness as I prepare to leave this town behind. Yesterday was my last day working at The Hub. I’m going to miss being a part of the day-to-day operation of a newspaper for a while. I don’t yet have have a job out east, but I’m hoping to be able to pull from unemployment in the short term and then I’ve got an idea to start a newsblog (to be called Water Street Journal, stay tuned) and freelance while I look for a job.
The move itself should be pretty exciting. I haven’t had the chance to drive across the prairies before, so that should be interesting. Plus at the end of this trip it will leave only one province/territory – Yukon – that I haven’t been to.
I’m hoping to be able to post some sort of video journal every night of the trip, updating our progress and maybe showing a few pics and vids from that day’s travel.
Our first stop tomorrow night is Jasper, AB. It’s actually somewhat in the opposite direction, but we both love it there. Then Saturday we’ll be able to drive through Banff and Lake Louise. Neither of us have ever been, so it’ll be nice to see before we head out east.

That should be very interesting. Be sure to let us know when you’ve got the Water Street Journal up and running.
