The wobblyknee's have landed!!!

Early morning start off to the aiport, few more tears, last minute goodbyes!
Squashed into the taxi with too many bags, but not everything can go by container. Good job it's only an hour to the airport.
The plane departure was on time, and yes it is a long flight but it was smooth and painless, just a little cramped.
Took a little while at Vancouver airport, we had to do the official immigration landing process. All the paper work was in order, a few simple questions and fair amount of waiting, the immigration officer had 5 lots to process. Eventually she said "Welcome to Canada", that was nice, but I was expecting fireworks and a fanfair! Oh well, can't be too disapointed I suppose.
About an hour and half and we'd cleared arrivals!

We had the fantastic sensation that we'd made it, after several years of form filling and waiting - Yipee :)

On to the next flight, a few hours wait, we wanted to give ourselves enough time in case things we're running late but because everyting ran so smoothly we found ourselves trying to kill time. Flight to Kelowna was also smooth and on time. We landed at 7:15pm local time and astonished to find it 34C. Just a little warmer than we'd left the UK!
