On the 8th of October 2014 our Italian experiment ended with a bit of sadness I would say.

I would have stayed there because of all the friends that I made the short while that we were there 
but unfortunately there is not many jobs where my wife, Sylvie, can find in Europe. So we have decided to return to Canada. 

We took a Trans-Atlantic boat to come back to ease up the hour changes and we took a small vacation in Fort Lauderdale before returning to the Canadian Winter. 

In retrospect, we should have waited the 3 months that we were allowed to stay in Italy and come back to Canada in Spring instead of the miserable winter that we got.

But we assumed our decision and decided where we will settle down. I was pushing for Vancouver because of lighter and shorter winter season but Sylvie thought the Kingston would offer her more opportunity as for job search. I accepted because I, also, had fallen in love with that area. 

Finally, she did managed to find work which she said was temporary and that she is looking for a better job but I think that she got turned down too many times for her to care anymore. So she accepted a job below her standing and her pay expectation but she seems to like it for now...

As for me... I finally retired - completely !!! Due mostly for my health but it was really difficult to get the full amount that I am suppose to get for having worked so long in Canada because the Government was under the impression that we had left Canada in 2002 instead of 2012. It was their fault but it was my problem to have it fixed and since we were buying our new house while dealing with that process it made it stressful as Hell...

But now I am writing this from our new Home in Deseronto, Ontario. How long are we going to be here ?  Are we going to finish our days here or are we called again to go abroad or elsewhere ??? 
God knows but I'm pushing for Mars !!!

The END........................

  1. Now that some water went under the bridge, I re-read everything I wrote and I am not satisfied of what I wrote. That said, on the other end I am a bit proud of having lived this experience because of all the friends that I made in Trento. Some have gone elsewhere but sil there is a lot of my friends that are still living the dream in Trento. To all of you I say "GRAZIE MILE MI AMICI !"
