Travelling: Arrived and settling in.

So, we have made it to Kingston and we are settling in. Kingston is a very beautiful city. All the stuff we shipped by Grey Hound seems to have made it in one piece. Tonight is the "Mixer" that fellow students have arranged via Facebook. Should be fun.

Our old house is well...old. Not as super new as we are used to, but that goes with the territory. It does have charm though and it is only for 12 months. We are both finding the humidity makes it seem much colder here in the evenings and early mornings. There is bell tower that chimes off the hours. Nice switch from the constant traffic and sirens of downtown Calgary. We are on a street with families so we are definitely not in the middle of the "undergrad" "student ghetto".

Managed to get some dress pants from "Dover's" on Princess St. So, I am all set for "business formal" attire on Monday. Got the cell phones re-zoned to Kingston. Getting a landline and Internet next week from "Cogeco". They could have come earlier, but the school has me booked from 8:30 AM to 10 PM almost every evening of the first week. So, it will have to wait till the following week when the schedule backs off to 9 AM to 4:30 PM.

For now there are tonnes of WiFi locations in coffee shops. Right now I'm in "the sleepless goat". Quite nice. Reasonably priced and good food to boot! If you come to Kingston come check it out.
