There was too much to ask of my wife while I enjoyed myself in Kelowna for 1-2 months.
Maybe if this same offer came along 1-2 years down the road I'll be able to go, but for the time being we'll be staying put.
Timing killed this proposition, but I was leaning to leaving Calgary to make a go of it....

I could be wrong but Ive always thought the start date was negotiable. It definitely was for my position. They gave an offer with a start date that didn't work for me, so I asked it to be changed to a later date due to my personal travel plans (that I wasn't able to change). They agreed. It wasn't a big deal at all.
