... It's a personal blog, suck it up) I decided to actually look into getting one today. Yesterdays hike left me a little sore, and I knew I was up for a bigger challenge today. The pharmacy dept at Shoppers Drug Mart was very helpful. They helped me find the size I needed, were very patient with my try on process, and even showed me braces specific to my needs. Turns out when I tried to describe the injury, he know what I was talking about. Good ...

On Day 2, we drove south towards Athabasca Falls, then headed up a rocky, unpaved road to hike the Geraldine Lakes trail. We made it past the first lake and midway towards the second, finally turning around at a massive rockpile. Afterwards we went into Jasper for a dinner of Japanese food. Details in the photos!

... dorm laughed in her sleep all night, and as a result Christine got almost no sleep. The hostel does have a nice big kitchen and dining/common area, as well as a firepit out back, and it's on the road to the Whistler gondola while still being close to the townsite. (In comparison, the HI hostel in Banff townsite has more small rooms; and it's in town, though rather out-of-the-way up the road to Tunnel Mountain. There's an infrequent bus.)

Once on top of the hill, you just take the skins off and re-attach the bindings so that your skis become just like a pair of downhill skis and then the fun begins. Here's a piccie of my set-up: Why go to all the effort of ...

... we got to see the Mexico City streets almost completely empty. We got our early morning plane to San Fransisco where we were to spend the next 9 hours. I really wanted to go to the pier and see the Golden Gate Bridge and the Aquarium but the airport ****ed up our baggage and we ended up waiting for those for almost 2 hours then we had to check them in all the way at the other end of the airport. By the time we had any time left it was too late to go anywhere. I was pretty mad ...

Well I am almost packed. I went out and got a waterproof disposable camera, tons of film, a new camera case, rechargable batteries and some mp3 headphones. Dont worry - nothing is worth too much. I am only taking 4 bikinis...the absolute minimum!!! We are going to mec before we leave so Jesse can get some sandals. I have to keep telling myself that I cant spend too much money here- I would rather spend it over there. Only 2 more days ...

I am sooooooooooooo excited right now. I still have three days of work left before we go and it is dragging out painfully. I wanna go now! The first real trip of many trips I will go on in my lifetime... This travellogue is for everyone wanting to come with us but can't physically...I ...
