Hi there. René here.
Well, I guess the biggest news is that I am now an official resident of the USA! Still an "alien" but as long as we can go to sleep each night and know that there is no looming departure for either of us (something we always dreaded) then I can be called whatever.
Picking up from the last post, the abbreviated timeline until now is something like this:
February 2012
RB working in Calgary, AB comes to visit. They go xc-skiing in Lake Louise. Beauty
April 2012
RB visits AB in Ann Arbor for 2 weeks. AB finishes year 1 of grad school (Yeah!!) and travels back to Calgary with RB for much needed relaxation.
May 2012
RB goes to Montreal for immigration interview. It takes about 20 minutes and he is approved (Yeah!!). AB returns to Ann Arbor to start summer work/research.
June 2012
RB leaves job in Calgary. AB flies to Calgary to help with move across country, with slight (2000 km) detour out to Vancouver Island.
The drive:
Calgary, AB -Vancouver, BC - Blaine, WA (processed into USA) - Spokane, WA - Glendive, MT - Minneapolis, MN - Pleasant Prairie, WI - Ann Arbor, MI
Approximately 5 000 km (3125 mi) traveled in 10 days; however, most of the cross country drive was done in 3 solid days of driving.
July 2012
RB/AB (re)settled in Ann Arbor!!
