Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon

... and wouldn't have had to if I hadn't been told by the Greyhound employee to get on the wrong bus!<br><br>Well, first I just wanted to cry because to be honest, by this stage, I was over travelling and Greyhound Canada just was not as good as it's US sister. So I had a whinge to the driver of the bus I had just got off. He was actually nice, and organised with the guy at the ticket office for Greyhound to pay my ticket on the other carrier, since it was their fault ...

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!

Well, today was another long driving day because quite frankly there was nothing really to stop for. Except for a lovely rest stop where the lady running the place just wanted to chat...actually I think she wanted to abduct me, it was a little creepy. Anyhow, just drove through the praries...but here wa<br>

So I am sitting in the dinning car once again on VIA as we travel through the less than flat prairies.  I had always assumed that the prairies were completely flat because of the Corner Gas references and the stories of travelers past who have sworn to me that the ride from Winnipeg to Saskatchewan is the most boring section of rail.  In my experience today I can't disagree more.  But to be fair the Canadian is what you make of it.  No one on ...

... his dressing room in just an overcoat. Saturday January 11th 2009 8:07 AM The waffle maker is my *****. 11:13 AM Laguna Beach - Impressive mansions, beautiful ocean views and fine art galleries. However, a surprising lack of second-hand stores, only partially offset by that rock with the weird sticky patch. 1:19 PM "The Dupres Go To Laguna Beach" is ...

... were torn down while I was gone and I had no idea. It doesn't feel like summer to me because I was away for most of it. So now the fun of telling stories and pictures can begin. Some of my favorites would have to be Greece, Edinburgh, and nothern and southern Ireland, and of course all the little stories that come with it all!!!!!!!!!!

... and full of potholes. It took us an hour or so to get back to a more major (maintained) road. We got as far as Saskatoon and found the Gordie Howe Campground. Their tent sites were along a chainlink-and-barbed-wire fence overlooking an apartment complex. And even though the park is along the river, we had to walk for twenty minutes to find the South Saskatchewan. We didn't see any pirates on the River Saskatchewan.

... except for the first night. Why Honduras? We've travelled some in Central America: Belize, Guatemala and Costa Rica. We've also been to Cancun, Mexico and a few countries in South America. Although we can't fly directly to Central America, at least it's in the same time zone, so you're not "zoned out" when you get there. Since we're not real beach types, we like history and nature: ecological reserves ...

HOME! thank god! Rolled into stoon at about 3 o clock.Then i sat around like a poor forgotten welfare child for an hour before my parents got there to pick me up. I guess they had "work" or something. Good news-boompa didn't recognize me. stupid cat. maybe i'll return him to the SPCA and see how he likes THAT. just kidding. geez. stayed up for a good 25 hours straight, had some good chinese food with the folks and aunt and uncle. it's so nice ...

... going to be a long few weeks. On the plus side, there are a lot of trips that they have planned for us and tomorrow I have my first Atelier. I chose Photographie and Sports so it should be fun. My luggage also arrived yesterday which was fantastic. I had never been so happy to see my toothpaste. My time at the library is almost up and I have more emails to write before I switch back into French. A bientot!
