oh I love Calgary but outside of going to Flames games and having a wide range of restaurants available, I don't go nuts with the whole big city lifestyle. Especially working from home, the only time I leave the house is to go to the gym which is like not even a 5 minute drive.
I think once I adjust to living in the slower paced lifestyle, it could be really nice. PEI is pretty boss during summer. Winters can be brutal if they get a ton of snow, but not as much -30 or colder weather like we get here. Being able to go to the beach all the time during summer will be pretty awesome.

Yeah, the only pro to staying in Calgary is the mountains being nice and close. But if you can work from home anywhere in Canada, I would move to PEI too. Are you going to live in Charlottetown or somewhere outside of there? I spent 4.5 days there in September, so I pretty much know the whole island.

We're looking at a house in Stratford, which is that town just east of Charlottetown you take the small bridge over to. But we'll see what plays out, looking to stay within queens county which is the center area of the island, and try to stay within a 15-20 minute drive to Charlottetown.
We looked around van island which is luring for the weather but housing costs there are pretty high. Hard to argue PEI for me when it comes to cost of living and most of my family being there.

Quality of life is probably quite a bit better too. It helps that people on the island are really friendly too. Whereas here, not so much.

Out in the country, well countryish, it's only under 10 mins from Cornwall and under 20 to Charlottetown. My sisters house is a 3 minute drive away and parents under 10 mins away.

Beautiful house with over 2 acres of land and a bit of a sea view, too hard to pass up. Pictures don't even do it justice, doesn't show the den, mud room, proper pics of the bedrooms. Just got brand new hardwood floors throughout the entire house so the flooring in the pics isn't accurate now.

We can have a big lobster boil, mussels for dayssssssss.
Will miss not having a Costco liquor store, well a Costco in general but can drive to Moncton for that. No Costco liquors in the maritimes as far as I know. Govt. controlled liquor stores for the lose.

Yeah the latest liquor stores on PEI are open is 10PM, which in the grand scheme of things is fine by me. It's just the prices that are rape.

Yup. I've seen it locally in Edmonton. Save your money and go to Cuba and buy it there. It's $50+ a bottle here.

Nice, that'll be fun for summer.
I'm going to buy a truck, leaning towards a Ridgeline.
