Day 13 - Cranbrook BC to Calgary AB

Well, this was the last day on our road trip and unfortunately it's back to reality tomorrow ... we spent the night in Cranbrook last night and had a great dinner at Frank's ... way too much food but still worth the visit if you are ever going through there.

We decided to get up early and make a ...

Colder, and colder, more and more mountains, then.... Calgary. Even though it's a real deep freeze right now, it's a warm welcome at Andrea's place. We meet a new little girl, Bridget Rae Collins, weighing in at 7 lbs and 13oz, a healthy, happy sister for Lincoln!!

On the 3rd of  July we played in Heritage Park on the outskirts of Calgary, a small themed village which tries to imitate how the city looked in the past. It has many real western-frontier buildings and its authenticity is pretty good, but it is the kind of place where, for a price, you can see everything in about an hour and never need to go ba...

So i've finnaly decided on a route i like. Trekholidays is a great company for setting up small group backpacking tours. The current plan lands me in Xian, China. Moving northeast-ward through China i'd then cross the border into Almaty, Kazakhstan. I've wanted a trip to Almaty for a long time so this will be a highlight. The trip then zig-zags ...

Now that Neil is here, the ideas are constantly being put out there for cool things to do. Since he is from Oz, he is excited to do things here that I often disregard since it is so close to home and therefore "boring". Not boring, but somehow we often see things close to home as that. It just doesn't satisfy the need for the exotic. But neverth...

I'm finally here. Now it's time to hit up the Stampede. Tomorrow's plans include sightseeing in Calgary. A trip to the zoo, and the climb up the Calgary tower are a must.

Wow. Can barely even sit still anymore. I am down to 7 more days of work. Then FREEDOM!!! Am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that pretty soon I can actually do things in the middle of the week, AND during the day! I realized this when I was chatting with Carmella (travelpod username whereshegoes - I highly recommend reading her amaz...

We left home shortly after retrieving the kids from school. Picked up Paul from work; he had no trouble getting away, despite our fears. Easy drive to the airport, but we still had only 20 minutes after we got through security before the flight boarded. It was a full flight, and Kyla and I sat next to a very nice woman from Moose Jaw, Saskatchew...
