The Lodge At Kananaskis Kananaskis Village

... I mean. As we were driving to the Airport our driver told us about the chunk of plane that flew off the same flight that we are taking today.... so we are pretty pumped about that... hahaha. Flying from Calgary to Los Angeles today!

Second stay...AND we thing we've finally come up with a name for the unit..."Wally". I was looking at the cab (an "E450") and thinking about how it is our new home, with four walls...you get the idea. So - "Wally" it is! Ron and I came out on Friday and made it back home on Tuesday - Canada Day. We had his sister and brother in law at the campsite up the hill (they movd ...

Our very first stay in the new motor home...as yet, still unnamed. We stayed two nights and three days. It was amazing! Ron and I had never stayed in a motor home before we bought this one, and really weren't sure what to expect. It just SEEMED to be what we wanted! It was everything and more! We can't wait to travel more an go all the places we've ever just dreamed about. Go see Canada. What an original idea! Of course ...

... bref, donc balade tout en discutant puis visite de la station, repas sympathique (merci à tous!), photos souvenirs, oublis de jumelles ramenées bien gentiment par Vincent (merci, je me serais fait pas mal gronder sinon; j'ai une mémoire immédiate assez réduite!) puis retour vers Picture Butte et son absence d'altitude et d'arbres et retour sur Lethbridge à 11h du soir, bien exténuée, mais super contente de cette journée et de mon week end prévoit sérieusement d'y retourner :)

I arrived in Kananaskis Country on the 6th of October 2007 having flown to Calgary on the 4th of october from Perth, Western Australia. It wasnt until the 7th that I was able to go discover what the area had to offer in terms of recreation, other than skiing/snowboarding at the hill i was to work at. What i found was quite amazing, Biking and Hiking trails, rivers, and shear mountains. I met up with a few of the other people ...

Sunday Morgan decided to show me Banff National Park around the Canadian Rockies. We took a dip in Lake Minewanka, found an old bridge going about 40 feet over a river that ran into the lake so ...

At last i am heading home to Whistler!!! We had an easy morning and for once didn't have to get up early for a bus, we just had to at the bus stop by 11am. After 25 minutes or so the bus arrived which dropped us off at the Calgary airport. We had three hours to kill so wandered and looked in all the shops had some lunch then boarded the plane at 2pm. It was a very good flight, the plane was nice and new and we each had our own tv screen like you do on the international flights, only two ...

... heading out to the Okanagan last weekend (May long). Neil joined us and it was a fun and relaxing weekend, and the weather was great compared to Calgary - it snowed here while we were away!!! Meanwhile we were out in shorts and tank tops in the Okanagan! :) Love it! Oh, and of course we have Australia already booked for Oct. Our photographer from our wedding (Paul) has since become a good friend, so we have asked him to be our photographer at our Oz ...

... as I guzzel it down (apparently it stops beating when it makes contact with digestive juices). All questions we will soon have answers for.... So now begins the marathon nigth before/morning of packing that I am famous for. I blow the dust off of Nellie - my backpack - and go in search for my trusty sandals. After 7 years of travelling the world the sandals are beginning to show their age. The sole is starting to come apart - I panic - what am I ...

From Dennis, the guy that cares about your gas supply. It's not very reassuring that we have travelled zero percent of the world. Well, un-like Donna, I had to work today. It's very important to get that oil and gas out of the ground, as well as you can from downtown Calgary. But, I'm frantically packing now.
