Stonebridge Hotel Grand Prairie Grande Prairie

... high country. We will be staying one more night in Canada and then should be in Montana by day after tomorrow. We saw some beautiful elk and buffalo herds, but they were fenced in on ranches. Nothing else to write about. Only took pictures of wheat fields today. Sorry about the travelpod yesterday. I was having trouble uploading my pictures and then after sending, I noticed that I sent it twice. Oh well.

... that it's already getting close. But...I can't wait to see my dog on Sunday! <br><br>I realized that I haven't put in the mileage travelled each day, so I'm going to update each entry to say that, as we'll be interested in that when we return and read this so we can remember our trip! <br><br>Distance travelled today: 364 miles or 585 kilometres<br>Travelled by: motorcycle

... but we will try to write at least every 3-4 days. From my parents cottage to Kyle's parents in Grande Prairie we traveled 5099.0 kilometers (according to the GPS.) Take care and we will be in touch again soon when we enter the next leg of our journey!!!!!<br><br>KnT

On February 22nd I will fly from Grande Prairie via Calgary and Frankfurt to Venice, Italy. My wonderful friend Simone has offered to pick me up there. We will spend the next two weeks together in Europe. The plan is to hang around her home in Cison di Valmarino, which is in the province of Treviso and the region of Veneto in Italy. This is the northern area of Italy in the mountains. It looks really ...

... and that&#8217;s the two-week limit, mind you, already critical at just one week. So I decide to go car camping. There seems to be a lot of state parks dotting the roadside from Grande Prairie on down, so I&#8217;ll take my time and groove on the scenery, exploring the little towns. The parks tend to run about $20 a night, so that&#8217;ll save significantly on hotel bills. Of course I feel a little ...

... on other things, and I'm just thankful that we do have seperate work projects and her lack of concentration is not going to refelct poorly on me. My other concern is her seemingly growing self-centeredness. It started to show this past weekend when our host dad asked if we wanted to go quading. I agreed to it because we don't do that many things with the family, and besides, it should be fun. My partner on the other hand, wanted ...

... things happened there that I can remember off the bat. When we arrived, I was holding the foor for the group, and was about to head in myself when a young guy also going in stopped and said, pointing at me, "You are high class!" It made me smile, almost laugh and then he followed it up by saying "I love the Cancuks." Then I noticed his Canucks cap, and realized he was refering to my vintage ...

... excersize that took up the rest of the day was to build a 'Perfect Society.' You imagine there has been some gigantic tragedy and your group is the only 16 left. You have to create a functioning society that will survive. Since everyone had a different opinion about everything, and we are talking about basics-- food, shelter, language-- we got quite philosophical. We went on for more than two hours, every once in ...
