Best Western Village Park Calgary

I dont remember much about this trip. I was only 7 or so. The only thing I remember was that we went and saw the place where the Olympics were held. It was around the time that Cool Runnings had come out and I was so excited to see where they bobsled. Very exciting time for a seven-year-old!

... It took about an hour and we were all set to start cooking our steaks and corn on the cob when the skies opened up and we had a thunder storm. So here I am writing this on Word in the tent while the coals are getting hot and I’m really hoping we’ll be able to have our much anticipated dinner! I see the sun coming back out so it looks promising.

Yes! The sun came out long enough for us to have our steaks (which the kids said were great, I ...

... meal on the plane, great wine and lots of movies. I only allow myself one movie, then off to sleep. I think I am the only person on this huge plane that actually has an empty seat next to me, much easier when it comes time to sleep. Before I know it we are landing in London Heathrow, certainly my favourite airport in the world, lots of shopping to look forward to before my connection onto Rome. Susan is where she is suppose to be, waiting at the baggage ...

... Behind someone else, I'll never see the light of day, Living in this cell, It's time to make my way, Into the world I knew, And then take back all these times that I gave into you. But lately I'm so tired of waiting for you, To say that it's okay, And tell me please, Would you one time, Let me be myself so I can shine, With my own light, And let me be myself for awhile, If you don't mind, Let me be myself so I can shine, With my own ...

Terri met me at the bus station and after a much needed shower we took spike for a walk uo Nose Hill. Serious views of the rockies!! Can't wait to get there. We went to the zoo for the afternoon, got within a metre of a moose and bald eagle. Even the owl/falcon enclosure I could get really close to the birds. Drumheller- badlands and tyrell museum, Hiking through kananaskis Glenbow museum and chinese cultural centre.

... us off at Calgary Zoo whilst he went for a swim. The zoo is one of Calgary's main visitor attractions and it is easy to see why, it is well laid out, reasonable and has a strong emphasis on education and conservation. Got some good pictures - and after looking at the Canadian wildlife section have a good idea of what we might be lucky enough to see in the Rockies.

... maybe they meant 24, eh? Bacon Salt. Because everything tastes better with bacon. A wise man once told me, 'Leftovers are for women' Keith, reminding me of an earlier quote of mine when I couldn't finish my gigantic plate of pork. I finished, eventually. *******. Don't hate the player, hate the game Keith, quoting his former ...

... t read my blog since January because he's been quite busy with work, cadets, and baby George. Andrea, his wife and my Angel, has been reading it faithfully, as I have previously alluded to in my entries. The other Officers leave and we continue chatting about my Journey. Last year I had lent him one of my copies of the Secret because he believes in this same stuff and has been on his own Journey, though not to the same extent as I did in the past 6 months. It ...

... the south where it feels like you must be driving on a flat tire it's so bouncy? Well, it was like that for over 200 miles. People were incredibly friendly in North Dakota and Montana - even the guy in the gas station who knew we were from Canada advised us to drive as far as we could in Montana, because "as soon as you cross the border, the road gets terrible, they just don't know how to maintain their roads up there ...

... before settling in back at the condo for the afternoon. That Sunday afternoon Kyle dropped us back in Calgary and Jamie and him headed back to Edmonton. That night I spent quietly in my hotel room in Calgary and was lucky to have a microwave in my room so I trotted across to the Wal-mart across the road and got a frozen pizza which I heated for dinner. On Monday I went back to Wal-mart and did a little bit of shopping before catching up with some people I had met in ...
