Days Inn And Suites Edmonton

... ducks, swans, grouse, etc. There were many small lakes, ponds and wetland areas which seemed to feed in the North Saskatchewan River.

We arrived and set-up camp and then went to the West Edmonton Mall. This place was mind boggling. This is the largest shopping and entertainment center in the world, which featured more than 800 stores, 100 ...

... her apartment for a few hours before heading out to Sherwood Park for an Easter meal. Dann's family was celebrating the holiday with a turkey dinner and they graciously invited me to join them. The weather was warm, so we sat in the sun until dinner was ready, and I then ate my first traditional holiday meal in a very long time. The Wurster family was friendly and welcoming, and it was heartwarming to spend the holiday with a family, even if it wasn't mine! Dann ...

... my past I also had a Fearful Glimpse into my Possible Future. Today I Went to wall-mart to get some last second supplies That they had in there travel section, This is where i learned i am not very domestic. The very mammoth size Of this new "super" wall-mart Was intimidating to say the least, Everything one could imagine under one roof... Now just if I could figure out where... So I wondered the carefully labeled isles in search of some travel supplies I ...

... wires had melted together so they had to replace all of this. I was OK with the repair and the cost since there was nothing I could have done. After this big chunk of money, I treated Pooh and I to and Indian Buffet at the New Asian Restaurant. The buffet did cost more than usual ($13 a pop) but it was one of the best buffets ever. The food was very well prepared and not too spicy where you cannot eat so much. After lunch we went back to the RV to take care of the ...

... on the phone waiting while someone was trying to find suitable flights, schedule, etc. we finally have our tickets and will be travelling Edmonton to Vancouver on Air Canada then Vancouver to Beijing on Air China. We will be spending 3 days in Beijing before continuing to Saigon. After such a lenghty flight it is kind of nice to stretch our legs a few days and ...

Car camping gets old, of course, even when you can get showers, so I'm ready to be back in Edmonton when I finally tire of the countryside. This time I forego the Comfort Inn, or whatever, and go stay in the hip part of town in an old flea-bagger for half the price. I wish I’d started out there, but places like this you can’t book online. Everybody’s nice, too, just like in the ...

... be about 60. We signed up for the Peace Hike so we are out another 36 bucks for the boat ride back to Waterton from Goat Haunt in Montana. On the bright side we have good hot showers in the camp which the NPS camps do not seem to have. And Canadian bucks are still a little lighter in value than American bucks but with the credit cards putting on a 'foreign exchange fee' some of that difference is taken back ...

... the river to come over, we cracked some cold beers. We were trying to race the heat and snack on what would have been sushi. It cooked within minutes on my 20th floor balcony. There was just no hope for any kind of coolness way up here. After catching up on a few months of news, we decided it would be a good idea to take a dip in the refreshing cool waters of the pool downstairs. After bringing our temperatures down to normal, we laid out among the flowers in the patio ...

... higher. I suppose this is good because I now focus more on my practice. Still. It's boiling and that's all I need to know. I can still imagine what madness is behind that square yellow stickynote. Hotness. Mad hotness. I came home and got the bright idea that it would be good to invite my parents over for lunch. I hadn't seen them for a while and I had some delicious stuffed mushroom caps with their name on it. Oh yeah...pawn off the 'shrooms on the 'rents. You know it! I ...

... found a restaurant that was one story up so we had a nice view over town. We wandered around town a little and then admitted it was probably time to drive back. Jasper is about 8 hours from Vancouver.. We stopped for dinner in Merritt, Canada's Country Music Capital! Its much smaller than I had thought it would be, and sadly we couldn't find a giant guitar like in Tamworth. On the drive back again a couple of hours from Vancouver we hit another crazy snow storm. There was so ...
