Riding the bus aint so bad!! Really it aint!! We stop for food along the way it takes your mind off the driving and doesn't cost nearly as much as gas for the same trip, well at least for the same round trip. Riding the bus to Halifax airport for 7hours is not that bad - spending 8 hours in the Halifax airport is going to be the fucking pain in the arse. But I got a buddy I work with traveling on the same bus and flying on the same plane so things won't be so bad. Got lots of places to stay in Halifax but for a whole 8 hours its not really worth the trip into town.
Well, I'm bussing it to hali because im headed to Fort Mac again and will be working at Shell's Albion Sands project and insulating again. We are on a 14 in and 7 out rotation, but no flights are offered. They do offer 800 bucks towards travel though so I will be visiting in Alberta for a little bit I think. There really isn't a flight in the next month that's either within my monetary range or on the days I need to fly in and out on so ya gotta do what ya gotta do right? Yes. My dad has been at Albion for quite a while now and it will be cool to work on the same project and stay in the same camp - he actually has chartered flights to and from Sydney paid for by his employer, but he put in the years to deserve it I guess. My only problem with this setup is getting to and from camp to the airport. Rides will be worked out eventually but the initial cab ride from the airport to the camp is going to be pretty rich - just glad I have someone to split the costs with.
Well here goes nothing! Hope the email works and this gets posted!!
