Our first ever trip trip to Ontario took place in 1993. Me and hubby took a 3 year old and 15 month old to stay with his sister in Brantford....well I think that's the name of the town! As we came into land I remember looking out over this vast country that I knew nothing about and immediately loved it (lol!)....bizzare or what?
Ontario reminded me of the US but whilst it seemed to have the convenience of America it also had the greeness of England and wow was it clean!! We spent 3 weeks doing every tourist trip we could; Niagara, Toronto, Seaworld, London, Kitchener...you name it we did it!! But we also lived the Canadian way of life....barbeque in the garden, supermarket shopping, playing in the park....bliss! It was easy to envy my sister in law and when it was time to head home me and hubby both felt Canada would be a great place to live.
It wasn't meant to be though...we we're just settling in to marriage, kids, jobs, mortgage etc and moving over 3,000 miles away to start over just wasn't feasible. Little did we know then that it would be another 14 years before Canada would become feasible and that we would decide to emigrate!!
