One week until it begins!

So here it is..

After months and months of waiting, planing and lots of interviews I'm finally moving to Banff, Alberta next week! I am going to be working at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel!

Since my stories are probably going to be too long to post on facebook (and nobody likes long posts), I have decided to make this blog so I can share my experiences.

I will be staying in the Banff Springs staff housing, which means I will have roommates. I have been told that the housing is set up in a dorm room style with 3 sleeping areas, a kitchen, a small living room (which is probably just a small gap between the sleeping areas and the kitchen) and a bathroom. The kitchens are equipped with an oven and a fridge but do not include a microwave.

I have sent 2 boxes to the staff housing prior to my arrival with things that I didn't want to put in my suit case. A small pot, small frying pan, cutlery, some more kitchen stuff, bedding, pillow, towels and some clothes. (space bags were a HUGE help when trying to put all that stuff into boxes).

Just some of the things that were boxed up
I'm really really looking forward to heading out there and hope everything goes as planned and my boxes arrive safely :)
