 BF>> Is it the same to live in Yellowknife as it was in Ottawa?
 
 JW> It's as different as say Halden in Ostfold and Paris, France both
 JW> in size and climate.

 BF> So, how come you know about Halden?

To be honest I don't. I looked in an atlas for the name of a town with
the same population and latitude that I thought you might know.

 JW> We are about 1600 km north of Edmonton, Alberta

 BF> Puh......
 BF> Don't find Alberta on my map, only Alberta City, Alabama.

You would need a map that shows the ten provinces as well as all the
cities.

 BF> We do have an Alberta here in Sweden. :--)

Named after royalty called Albert, no doubt.

 BF>> do you have to fly everywhare?
 
 JW> There is a two lane highway....
 JW> It is easier to fly but more expensive

 BF> Can't be free to drive 1600 km either and then back.

Driving a car (and paying for a hotel for one night) is about the same
as one airplane ticket but cheaper than two tickets if my wife is with
me.

 BF> And it must take som time........

Sure. At least 16 hours, usually split over two days. When i was younger
I would drive it in one day.

But my wife has relatives living in many small towns between Yellowknife
and Edmonton, so we often stop and visit. If they put us up for the
night, there's no hotel bills either.



Cheers,

YK Jim
