This place vacates at Christmas (all the Newfoundlanders heading home) and Easter (everyone tired of the cold, snow and dark and want some place with beaches).<BR/><BR/>We're looking at San Francisco to visit friends, followed by Italy and Greece.

Normally, they would cover it, but since Cathy worked in Rankin Inlet the previous school year, they covered her relocation from Rankin to Iqaluit. We were on our own from St. John's.<BR/><BR/>By the time you throw in two tickets, a couple of sea lifts for personal belongings, a car, dry good that we bought in Montreal (still cheaper to buy them there and ship them up than to buy them in Iqaluit) and other expenses, I think it's safe to say it cost us more than $10,000.<BR/><BR/>3. Nope. They cover up to a certain weight limit (I think around 1500 pounds). Cars and boats not included. It'll cost about $1000 to sea lift a car from Montreal to Iqaluit.<BR/><BR/>4. Plenty of boats around here as there is a fishing industry. Ice disappears around May I believe. It should return next month.<BR/><BR/>5. Not certain, don't really plan on acquiring either.<BR/><BR/>6. If they're helping you move, they normally tell you to pack about 10 bags, they'll cover the costs of the extra ones. That can include cats and dogs. Canadian North charges about $65 per animal.<BR/><BR/>I will mention this tomorrow, but be very, very careful moving pets. I lost my cat. No fault of the airline, but air travel can be highly stressful on animals.<BR/><BR/>7. And yes, they have high speed. However, they have a cap on downloads. 10,000 megs per month. Go over it and they charge you 2 cents per meg after that limit.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1127418218664485752005-09-22T15:43:00.000-04:002005-09-22T15:43:00.000-04:00I actually stopped over in Iqaluit once on my way ...I actually stopped over in Iqaluit once on my way to Eureka on EllesMere Island.
