I used https://trips.furkot.com/ a while back. I just used the site for planning a route round Canada. This has export functions. It might work for you? EDIT: adding in page with list of export types https://help.furkot.com/how-to/export.html

Jawbone have indeed gone out of the wearable business (I'm still waiting on a refund for both of my UP2 units that broke last year, they keep saying it's coming...) Agree with your suggestions of Fitbit and Garmin. I now have a Garmin Vivosmart 3 and find it very good and a reasonable price too.

Check with the border people / gov (not sure where), when I left here ( Canada) to go home to the UK, I went to the Customs office at the airport before I left one time with all the stuff I usually take (Camera, lenses, laptop etc) and they have an official card they will fill in with serial...

As a British Expat now living in Canada and having shared things from home with people here, I would send the following Curly wurlys, any decent chocolate (not the crap that is found here, there are only a few "nice" tasting chocolates / bars here) Scampi Fries / Bacon Fries Bisto Powdered...

I had the same thing for a tax refund from HMRC after I left the country. I just paid it into my Canadian account, took 6 weeks or so to clear and went through using the standard exchange rate. Will your bank not do the same?

I had immobilizing shoulder surgery a few years ago, i was off work for 6 weeks and told i could not drive. When I felt i was better after 4 weeks, I got checked by the doctor and got a note saying I was okay too. I carried this with me for a few weeks after just to be safe. Do you not have a...

Yes, both for ID (I've been ID'd more here in three years for alcohol than my whole life back in the UK despite being more than twice the legal drinking age, so that makes me smile!) and legally you must have it with you at all times here in British Columbia, you can get fined here if you cannot...

Random question (but possibly relevant) Where is the buyer from? In certain countries (Canada for example) as I found out, this is actually quite normal. Part of buying the house was that we got all of the white goods (nearly brand new washer & dryer, the cooker, dishwasher) as part of the house...

When I moved to the West Coast of Canada, I used Anglo Pacific. I didn't bring furniture or large electronics. I packed my own boxes, made lists (detailed) of what was in each box, (around 20 or so) they came along, checked them, put them on their truck and then I just waited until they had a...

Thanks, I only plan to use it in the UK while i am back for a couple of weeks. I'll take a look at all of these. I wasn't sure who was around these days.

This is very true, but i believe it only applies if you are applying under the spousal rules. It sounds to me like OP is just wanting to tag along with his partner who is British and just getting a job with her company out here. That in itself has its' own issues and may not help the OP getting...

This is very true, I meant to add a similar comment last night when I got home. It really is very much a "who you know" sort of place in a lot of respects. OP, is there a reason you are looking at the island? You could be limiting yourself a fair bit as it is a very small community in...

Thank you. I'll go take a look at their website too. :)

The wife and I are coming back to the UK for a couple of weeks next month. I want to get a couple of PAYG SIMs while we are there so we don't get hammered with charges from our normal provider. Any recommendations? I presume someone like Vodaphone 10pound will be just fine? Anyone better? I...

What sort of opportunity do you have? Do you have a visa to work here? Not sure how good it is, as I have not had to look for a job here (I transferred) but I keep hearing adverts for the following https://www.bcjobs.ca/victoria-jobs http://www.techvibes.com/job/victoria maybe give...

Does anyone know of any issues with me doing this? I'm coming home for a couple of weeks and would like to put a UK PAYG sim in my old Nexus while I am there. Is there any problem with this? Should I / Will I need to root / flash it for 4G? Anything else I should be aware of? Thanks

Was nice to see some of the places local to me in there. The store (where the lizard guy got hit with the handbag in the parking lot) is not far from me (about 10 mins drive) I was trying to recognize other places in there, but on first watch only recognized the store. :)
