Travelodge Hotel Calgary Airport

... somewhere close to the ocean, so any of the aforementioned cities would do ... proximity to beautiful Spanish senoritas is of course paramount, but that's a given anywhere in Spain. Living in Spain has always been just talk, so we'll see if it develops into anything more. Maybe next summer, it won't be another "Going to Spain" blog, but a "Moving to Spain" one.<br><br>So as always, the final blog entry needs to end off with a song that will forever ...

Am 2ten Tag in Calgary sind wir zum Olympia Park gelaufen. 1988 fanden dort die Olympischen Winterspiele statt.<br><br>Nach einer Besichtigung der Hall of Fame haben wir uns noch kurz in einem virtuellen Eishockey-Penaltyschiessen gemessen. Natürlich hatte der Goalie keine Chance gegen uns :-)<br><br>Mit dem Bus und dem C-Train ging es dann Richtung Einkaufszentrum. Um unserer Shoppinglust zu fröhnen, nahmen wir 1 Std ...

... 10th, we'll depart Fiji for Wollongong...we will arrive in the Sydney airport in the morning, and someone from KPMG will be picking us up. Once in Wollongong, we'll be shown to our new digs for 3 months, while Bri works down under and I find something fun to do! I have a working holiday visa so I plan on working somewhere stress-free where I can subsidize our travel costs ...

... there were lots of shady characters standing around and it made me feel a little unsafe. Aside from this vibe, Calgary's architecture is somewhat bland - most buildings being square, beige and looking the same - and the people quite nondescript, although I did notice a large indigenous population. On the other hand, I have several friends who lived in the city and loved it, so I can't say that I've given it a fair chance in only two days. I started today by visiting the ...

Starting to get really excited, and I have to write this down. Sunday Feb 1 at 8:00 am we will take off from Calgary. We change planes in St. Paul/Minneapolis, then on to Amsterdam, and from there straight through to Capetown. Will land in Capetown approx 10:30 pm Feb 2. Next entry: Feb 1 !!

... hopefully get some better luck. I dude in a jeep pulled over but he was just going into the city and I didn't want to get stuck inside Calgary so I declined. Another guy pulled over, same story. I decided to accept this time however, I was sick of waiting. He showed me a few places to camp on our drive in, gave me the know-how on the local bus system and sent me off with a bag of moldy carrots and a bag of seriously old cherries. With the local ravine ...

Ok...so now we are trying to tie up the loose ends...buy flip-flops, create the travel blog...oh yes, and finish all the things that need to be done yet at work! YIKES! I'm sure we will get on the plane at the right time tomorrow - at least Cam will be there to see to it that Min and I get there on time! Better go now and finish packing...

... veszik, tehát itt bõven belefér akár egy séta a Bow partján akár egy kis szökõkút-rajzolás. Este, amikor Martin befutott munkából 5-kor, autóba ültünk és elgurultunk a közeli Cochrane nevû faluba, ami a messze földön híres MacKay's fagyi lelõhelye (tényleg jó, külön térképet tartanak hogy honnan jönnek ide népek fagyizni). A kisvárosban egyébként jópár jópofa vadnyugati épület van, és a környék is gyönyörû.

What did you fill in after the ellipsis, dear reader? "A single step"? Cliche. No, dear reader, the correct answer is "A kitchen fire". I was scrubbing my kitchen down, or rather cleaning it so that it wouldn't grow moss before I returned. And I decided to take a pita bread and bake it, as a snack. I got so involved with scrubbing a cast iron pan that I lost track of ...

... for it. Al did not have a cover for his backpack. Rain makes a backpack even heavier. 7. Do bring lots of garbage bags (the big ones). Put one inside your backpack to ensure everything stays dry. Use one inside your duffel bag as they are not waterproof bags. Use one around your sleeping bag and mat. While they say the cover that comes with these bags are waterproof we felt as though everything was damp and you do have high humidity in the ...
