Relevant information

[Svein Olav Nyberg]

A few general considerations might be pertinent here:

* Weather. Short term. This winter. If things get so dire that you 
are not guaranteed lodgings, most of Canada --everything not 
Vancouver, really-- is too cold. But check the forecasts for what 
this winter will be like.

* Recession. Will the economy improve or sink deeper? It seems the 
Fed are preparing the $$$ press, which will kinda give a good 
"pee-in-the pants" relief, with more jobs for a while -- before it 
all goes even gloomier. But it will get you nicely through the winter 
with jobs.

* Transport. Hitch-hiking is free. If you choose this option, 
consider what kind of an appearance will most likely get you a good 
chance of a hike. (No pink miniskirts for you, I'm afraid!) If you 
look like non-threatening and interesting company, that's good. LOOK 
the gift of the gab, and speak to the driver's interests.

* Long-term, you require a plan, which brings you back to what Dan 
said: the details of you, what you want, what you can do, etc.
