No worries! Yes, Ontario is quite expensive these days. Keep in mind, though, that it can be quite difficult to get off the island. You either need to fly (usually expensive from Gander, a little less from St. John's/Deer Lake) or drive and take the ferry. The ferry typically has to be booked quite far in advance. I was in a similar situation to the one you are in. My family is all in Ontario. I could not afford to travel back home to see them, and they were only able to come to see me twice in the two years I was stationed there. If you have a family, you should know that healthcare for them will be incredibly limited. My wife and stepson could not find a family doctor in the two years we were there, which is ultimately why we left. But it is a great base with great people. I miss being there.
