... beach in one day, and Mom wrote me asking where I was (but if she's reading this, then don't worry, I'm with Natalie) and my Dad wrote to me saying he was going to get me (and if he's also reading this, you can't get me, Dad, I'm traveling around the world) and my friend from NYC, Sara, wrote me saying that she's wondering when I'm going ...

... in yourself.<br><br>So I went up to the counter. "Can I please have a bag check to Regina?" I asked, producing my Greyhound Discovery Pass. "Sure," the man said, and wrote on one such ticket "Regina via Saskatoon".<br><br>"That's funny," I thought to myself "I could have sworn the Greyhound website said I would be going via Calgary. Oh well, maybe this bus stops at Calgary somewhere along the way. And in any case, I'm sure there is a Greyhound bus going from ...

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!

... we want to keep active and those that we want to delete. Friends and visiting is a big aspect that we would like to not only keep, but enhance. We, like so many people, get busy and sometimes are too busy to even socialize. Peace is something we take for granted as we bustle through our day hooked in and wired up. The ability to walk among nature, climb a mountain - not the way the tourists climb Mount Fuji, in a cue which snakes up the side of the mountain. It is not ...

... prairie folk.  I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of people from Saskatoon.  Last night the cab driver was genuinely concerned for our success touring through Saskatoon.  Today the host of the Lodge gave us towels and help with travel arrangements.  Then off we walked to the Western Development Museum.  The museum is a famous attraction as a place where the curators have moved a whole 1900s Saskatchewan town inside a large hangar.  We had ...

... Ha ha!" as I push my bike through the Four Queens casino on the way to my room. Wednesday January 7th 2009 8:45 AM The only place in the world you feel guilty for not drinking a beer and betting on something during breakfast. 1:22 PM Flare another short iron off to the right of the green. Miguel, profession motorcycle racer, adds helpfully ...

... how much we have spent so far. This will be an ongoing topic of conversation for us, as we wouldn't do this trip without keeping track of our expenditure for those who may want to undertake a similar trip! I went to Shoppers to fax off our rental agreement to Belguim and our Chinese hotel credit card info for booking purposes. It cost me 37.00!!! Yikes, note to self: beg, borrow or steal a fax machine ...

Today was alot of fun! We had a bridal shower in the early afternoon and then a stagette in the evening. Lots of people showed up which was really nice for Joce! We had fun eating cake and drinking excessively! After the Bridal shower we went to Mano's for dinner and then on to Bailey's for the "naughty" stagette! Us girls did what we do best- got Joce drunkity, drunk, drunk! It was a lot of fun and we hoped she enjoyed herself!

So we left Winnipeg in the afternoon - although I have another interesting fact re this town/city [A guy named Harry Colebourn bought a black bear cub from a trapper in Ontario and named him "Winnie" after his hometown of Winnipeg. He donated the bear to London Zoo and the bear became the inspiration for A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories], so there you go!! (Against certain advice) We travelled to Saskatoon in the Province of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon takes it's name from the Cree ...

... National Park Gardiner, WY - Upon seeing 2 people park their car in the middle of the road in order to take a picture of something in the trees, dozens of other cars spontaneously followed suit. Despite not actually seeing anything they persisted in shuffling around in the ditch in hopes that a magnificent photo opportunity would suddenly present itself. Several minutes later a lack of success finally ...
