We were up at 0400 friday morning to get ready for our final leg of the journey. We made it to the airport and all checked in with minimal excitement. We managed to get 2 suitcases down to 52 and 54 pounds. The rest were overweight and became excess baggage.
So this morning we woke up and headed out to the airport. It took us probably about 45 minutes to get through check-in. We had 7 pieces of luggage in total. (6 pieces and the dog kennel). They all ended up being overweight! The weights ranged anywhere from 60lbs up to 85lbs. We ended up having to have all of our luggage go through over-sized checked baggage. We made it through the rest of the process with very little excitement….Thankfully!
We’re a little behind with our blogs.
On Sunday our internet went down at home. We phoned Telus to see what the problem was. They said they weren’t sure and it would be Wednesday at the earliest to have it fixed…..Needless to say we’ve been without internet since. I’m going to do my best trying to catch up with our recent events.
The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
