Best Western Port O Call Hotel Calgary

... different things. My stomach loves to give me stomach pain when I travel but when I was in Peru I didn't get any until the last day of my trip..think it was that ceviche...

Ballestas Island was the highlight of my trip, since the wildlife on this island is just stunning and the Humbolt Penguins are soo cute worth a day trip at least.

Best places that I would recommend going: Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu (I was ...

... West Campground opens at 8:00 am. So I figured I’d set some things up outside and then go get some propane. At 7:45 I was outside their doors and when they finally let me in, I found that they had no small propane tanks for sale! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Well, we’d have to go to town and get some. After 3 of us showering and a load of laundry we got out at about 11:30. First we went to downtown Calgary. We window shopped for about 2 hours. Parking was ...

... thing in the morning, there's so many people out at 6am. I caught the free train into town to get to my Greyhound and ofcourse took some touristy shots along the way. The bus trip to Lake Louise was good. Comfy seats and some fantastic views made the trip go a lot faster. I could've almost fallen asleep except I didn't want to miss the views.

... unspoken without sound You told me you loved me, that I'd never die alone Hand over your heart, let's go home Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs I've always been known to cross lines I've never ever cried when I was feeling down I've always been scared of the sound Jesus don't love me, no one ever carried my load I'm too young to feel this old Is it you, is it me Or does nobody know, nobody see Nobody but me "Let me be ...

... it handy for getting around quickly. Found a great place to have brunch on our first morning, Nellie's Diner - more food than we could really manage but we dug in and did our best! We went to one of the malls and then visited the Devonian Gardens - a strange but welcome gardens set up above a shopping mall - think garden centre on top of Bluewater and you sort of ...

... where we stayed for a few nights to get settle before housesitting a friends place for 3 weeks. We ran a few errands around town, but didn't do too much all. We caught up with a couple of people and picked up some of our stuff from Lachlan's. It was really nice to be back in Banff and the weather seemed to have warmed up quite a bit while we were away!

Enjoyed the incredible hospitality of Keith and Jessica's friends, Jared and Christina. Stayed inside mostly, visiting, reading, drinking coffee, avoiding the rain. I had to say goodbye to my road trip companions, Keith and Jessica, as they headed back east on their 2000 mile journey back to Nashville. Here are some quotes from ...

... had been there less than a month when the vehicle he was in was run over. Bumps and bruises but no serious injuries. The vehicle was a write-off. We chat a while. I meet up with a couple of the current parent executive and Roger, the vice-chair, looks me up and down and says, "Looks like Paul". He had read my last blog where I said that maybe the person writing all this isn't Paul. Later on, Rick, the Chairman says I look much more relaxed. I'm not too sure ...

Yes, that's right, we made it back - Whooooooo, Hoooooo! Last we left you we were in a hotel in Milwaukee. At that point our plan had been to take an extra day in the trip and go through South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and possibly head over to Yellowstone National Park. We changed our minds when Brenna had a breakdown leaving the motel saying "I don't w-w-want to g-g-get b-b-b-back in the c-c-c-car!!!!" Since we have ...

... through Banff and I now understand where my inheritance is going. After a late lunch in downtown Banff we head back to Canmore and settled in to playing cards back at the condo. I taught Kyle and Jamie what I had learn about playing blackjack in Vegas and Kyle introduced me to Crown Royal Whiskey which was very nice but will never replace Jack Daniels in my liquor cabinet. After a while Jamie got bored of watching Kyle and I play mindless card games so she went to ...
