Allrighty, so this post is a little late, but hey, better late than never, right? I believe this was the week before Halloween when we took this little road trip.So earlier this week Sarah had a day off and we decided to take a trip to Kentville to see the pumpkin people and a few giant pumpkins. If you dont know where Kentville is, it is about 50 minutes northwest of Halifax on Hwy 101. I wasnt

Just thought I would let everyone know that I have put up some pictures from the wedding if anyone is interested or hasn't seen any of them yet. They are in no particular order from the wedding, so dont expect them to follow the actual days events. Enjoy.

The most interesting thing about our wedding, is that the entire time I was participating in it, I thought it must be a dream, that it cant really be happening. At about the time Sarah starte walking down the aisle though, it started to sink in that just maybe this is real. I know for me I started to wonder about our decision to get married. That was, until Sarah was standing opposite me. Then I

Day 5, our 2nd to last day in Mexico, and we decided to take a trip over to the island of Cozomel. We had no idea what we would do once we got there, but the ferry over was just a short hop away, so we figured what the heck. As soon as we got past the actual ferry terminal, we were soon inundated with offers to rent scooters, cars, and to go snorkeling. We got a really nice offer to go out in a

So here I sit, typing my 2nd blog entry on my new laptop (first one is here). Its only 4 years old, is going on its second fan and 3rd harddrive, but its mine, and it works. That and I feel like I am getting pretty good at doing repair work on G3 ibooks, so if you are in the Halifax area and need some work done or some parts, drop me a line (rflight at dal dot ca).

We had the chance to go swimming with the dolphins, so we took it. It was amazing! What beautiful, intelligent, wonderful creatures they are. After spending time with them I really wonder if it is fair to keep them locked up. Anyway, it was really cool as part of the time was just swimming in the water while the dolphins swam around us, in a natural lagoon with normal fish swimming around and

No, not ours in case anyone is wondering. On August 9, our good friends Erin & Adam had a new addition to their family, an 8 pound 7.4 ounce beautiful baby boy, Samuel. Sarah and I went and visited them in the hospital yesterday, and he is one cute little baby. Mom and baby are doing great, and Adam seems to be slipping into the role of daddy easily. We will be keeping the new family in our

I didnt know that the speed of light had any US dollar units in it until now. Hannes was looking to do some conversions of real numbers in C, the programming language, so he typed the above into Google, and as you can see the google calculator thought he was trying to do something with Brazilian reals and the speed of light, but only in the states of course. Only goes to show that sometimes you

So we've been at our resort for a couple of days, and we now know that the hotel has a couple of cats that roam the grounds to keep the lizard population down, and tend to get tidbits from the guests. Having seen what our resort had to offer, we decided to check out one of the other Playa resorts we could go to. Our package included the ability to visit 2 other Riu resorts and be able to eat at

So we managed to get some sleep (after that kind of long day, how could we not), and decided to do some relaxing, seeing as how that was the main reason we were there (unlike some crazy people who like to see everything possible while on their honeymoon, hi Erin :) ). Checking out the pool was nice, especially having a bar right next to it. The local scuba operators offered free trial scuba

I said I was going to provide a somewhat more detailed account of the honeymoon (whether anyone else wants it or not), so here it is. I will probably just have a different post for each day. Each post also links to the set of pictures for each day. And the description and pictures should go roughly in the same order, so I dont have to refer to each picture (at least I hope not).

Finally, Sarah and I are moved to our new place. Thank goodness it is only 5 minutes from our old apartment, as even moving stuff to the lobby of the old place, starting before the movers got there, 2 movers and 2 friends lending a hand (thank you so much Karl & Danny) and a 5 minute drive to the new place, it still took ~ 2 1/2 hours just to move the apartment. That's not including the 2 car

Wondering what the title is about? Well, I figured, we are married, so the site title probably shouldnt have both our names in the title, as Sarah did decide to take my name. On the other hand, I wanted to keep something going about our new life together, and we really are a couple of nuts, so this is about the new life of a couple of nuts who are crazy about each other. Or something like that.I

Well, no wedding pictures to put up yet, but I do have the pictures from the honeymoon all done up, and available for viewing on the website. Right at the moment I have all the pictures just up in one batch, but I am planning on eventually putting seperate little groups, and post a description about the group of pictures. That would provide a little more context to the pictures, and the trip as a

Wow, its hard to believe that it has been 11 days since the wedding. I've been a married man for 11 days. Crazy. It is really taking a while to sink in, mostly I think due to how little has really changed in our relationship since we got married. I mean sure, our personal life has changed, and we are now living in the same apartment, but how we interact and how we treat each other is still the

I just realized that when I put up the information on how to get to Digby, that I never put a link to the ferry service. On the Bay ferries page you can see the schedule (remember, wedding is on May 20th) and find out how much it costs. The trip is only ~ 3hrs if the weather is good, obviously it gets longer when things get nasty (of course, we know the weather will be good that weekend).

For everyone traveling to Digby for the wedding and needing a place to stay (sorry, I don't think our hotel room will be big enough for everybody), there are blocked rooms available at the Siesta Motel, starting at $50 plus tax (queen bed & full bath). Just make sure to mention that you will be attending the Trask-Flight wedding. Other rooms are available for other prices.I should also mention

In all cases, the destination (Church or Reception Hall) is circled in red, and the roads to follow are highlighted in green.Just click on the image of the map you want to get a full size image.Here is the map for getting to the church from Halifax (Church is in red, route is in green).This one is to get

I have managed to create some maps showing the location of the church in Digby with a line showing how to get there from the highway and the ferry, as well as to get to the reception hall in Cornwallis.Unfortunately I am having trouble embedding the actual images in the post, so I am going to do it using links instead.

There isn't too much to tell yet. Sarah and I will be contacting one of the hotels in Digby and will have a block of rooms reserved for wedding guests that you can then make a reservation for. As soon as we do that, we will let you know here and probably by word of mouth as well.In the meantime, the only hotel I really know about is the Digby Pines, which is a very nice hotel.

For those of you who will be coming from away (particularly my side from NB, ON, MB and other areas way out there), there are a few different options to get to Digby.Fly into Halifax International Airport, then drive to Digby. The drive from Halifax to Digby is about 2 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic that day.Fly into Fredericton Airport, get to Saint John, NB, and take the ferry across to

Allrighty. So the wedding is to take place May 20th, 2006 (that's the long weekend for those party animals out there) and is being held in Digby, Nova Scotia. It is shaping up to be a fairly traditional wedding, with a church service and a reception to follow. Actual times and other particulars will coming in your invitations.
