... Regina". I ran over with everyone else who was transferring, only to be told that not only was this bus not a Greyhound so I could not get on with my pass, but there was, in fact, no Greyhound service from Saskatoon to Regina. "You've come to the wrong place. You should have gone to Calgary. You'll have to buy a ticket. It's about $40," said the driver. $40 for a ticket! I barely had enough money to buy food, let alone a ticket that I shouldn't have had to pay ...

We set off for Saskatoon, and no less than 15 minutes into the journey to Kristina spot our first Canadian Moose. We have now seen a brown bear &amp; a moose from the safe confines of the car, when we turned the bend in the road to be faced by a young brown bear back in Ontario it was a real buzz but not so surprising to see it there, but seeing the moose on its own in the middle of a field in the prairies seemed a little odd.<br><br>We set ...

Hello! Ok! Leaving Saskatoon doesn't have the same ring as "Leaving Las Vegas" but we don't live there! So, here we wait in John G. Diefenbaker International Airport for our departure to Calgary, our first leg of flights that will end in Barcelona, Spain tomorrow morning! Hoooray! Can you feel the excitement! Cheers, Rick &amp; Elsie!

So since I have been in Saskatoon I have wanted to go over to the other side of the river.  So today with all the stores and tourist attractions closed because of Victoria Day we had to think of something else to do.  So we decided to take photos of downtown across the river.  As I was taking the photos I realized something.  Saskatoon tries to look like its nickname of the Paris of the Prairies.  There are trees planted along the river ...

... get on the plane but I keep thinking about how long I'll be gone. I'm sure it will all go so quickly though... before I know it I'll be on a plane headed home. Thank you to everyone who has supplied me with contact names, a place to stay or just simply their support. It all means the world to me. What an adventure this is going to be! Stay tuned!!

... two years you still never forget them! Enjoy another of my travel blogs and I hope I update it a little better than the last one. I do have all of my photos posted but unfortunately no completion of the blogs. I will continue working on them until they are finished or else I will be kicking myself for not doing so! Cheers!

... fell from about 5 feet in the air. Unfortunately she fell badly in a 'V' shape with her tail bone hitting first. With all of us around her, she lay there on the ground going from crying to hyperventilating, but not showing any desire to get up. Fnally we decided that we really didn't know if she had any other injuries and we had best be cautious about moving her. A spine board was brought from the pool and the lifeguard with first aid training came and ...

... able to keep the secret for two months without any slipups! It was quite funny because some family members were a bit angry and hurt that I 'was not' coming home for Christmas (or so they thought) and I knew they were in for a big surprise! It was all planned! The night of my arrival my step-mother decided to invite everyone to celebrate one of my sister's birthdays. While they were all at ...

... the family goss with Sheila. To fill in the gaps though, after I left Edmonton last Monday I flew in to the city of Saskatoon pretty much right bang smack in the middle of Canada and surrounding by not a whole lot apart from flat flat and more flat. But that's not to say that the place doesn't have anything going for it, as I mentioned in my last entry I was flying in to meet up again with Joleen and her friend Sam who I had the good fortune to meet way ...

One very important tip to begin with: Satin roll pillows are NOT made for sleeping. Ok, now that I got off my chest, let's move on... The morning was tough, me with my concussion and all. My head hurt. I felt sick to my stomach. I didn't want to go anywhere. Mario encouraged while we packed out bags back into the car and returned to the mall for our complementary breakfast, which was just a fancy ...
