I may be out there sometime for a work function, just not sure if it will be the spring or maybe earlier.

Winter or spring I will grill you a steak and we can have some drinks and CF can drop by too.

But I will be feeding her beef jerky; because that's about how she likes her steak cooked; until there is no moisture left.

I have a friend from BC who has been living in Australia on a work visa for a year now and she absolutely loves it i hope to be able to visit myself one day! Good luck figuring out the move, im sure we here in Western Canada have lots of work for your boyfriend :P

I hope you're right!

It is beautiful here in Australia, but I miss my snowboarding! I've been here a year and a half. Living near Surfers Paradise is a treat

Oh and I'll rep the east....Prince Edward Island born and raised (hence the username) :P

I dont snowboard but I cant get enough of skiing during the winter. I love it, I find it relaxing, I love being outdoors, and it can be a good workout. I would definitely miss it if I moved out of the country - I feel ya!

I am definitely not an outdoor girl during the cold months . and ever since I moved back from Ontario to NS, I have not done any outdoor stuff and I miss it terribly.....or maybe it is the company I miss more..lol

If you have an iPhone (it could work on other phones? Or maybe a computer im not sure - i only have my phone) there is an app called InstaCollage that is free and is super easy to use. Choose your template, choose your pics, and you're good to go

Has anyone ever stayed at the Ottawa Jail Hostel before? Or can anyone get a better rate than $129 a night for nice room with fridge and microwave? I need 3 nights.

Have you tried one of those "mystery hotel" deals? Basically you name the area and price range and don't get the hotel name until payment?

We just used that for a pei trip and got a really great rate at a nice hotel. Worth a shot?

I used Hotwire last year and the room I got at the Quality Inn sucked. I want to be in a 1km radius of Goodlife on Queen

Thanks, I actually have a room reserved there already.....was just looking over my options. I think I will just keep that room and treat myself, seems like I will enjoy the comfort there. Are you in the Ottawa area?

[HandoverFist]

Hey Everyone;

Just checking in and seeing how everybody is doing. Been a few months since ive read this thread.

Question for you all as well. Ive started travelling more and more for work. How do you guys maintain your nutrition while travelling? I take my supplements and protein powders in my bag, but obviously I cant pack away pre planned meals. Its just way to easy to go to the diner and eat anything thats on the menu (company pays for all meals).

you can travel with pre-packed meals if you give some thought to it. if not then take a room with a microwave and fridge and hit a local grocery store for some food that you can make in your room. Rotisserie chicken with a pasta salad and tossed salad....who can say no to that..well I can depending on what ingredients it is made with...lol

I travel for work too sometimes and that exactly what i was gunna say and exactly what i do. Get to my hotel - go get some groceries lol cause work pays for that too right, not just meals eaten out

Awesome! I always start trying to incorporate running/light jogging in hopes of being able to go for a straight 30 minutes and then the efforts just fizzles away.

[Hdude]
