... to floor the accelerator, but never found a good stretch of dry pavement for that sort of fun.  I checked in to the downtown Holiday Inn where they were also nice enough to upgrade my room to a suite with a view of the beautiful domed Manitoba ...

Well, after not getting away until 10:30 (as opposed to 10AM like I wanted) we had a fairly uneventful trip to Winnipeg.  Stopped in to the 'not so booming' town of Whitewood for a quick lunch at the CanAm.  Visited with Liz (Angie's sister) for ...

... to have a break from the fast food, and get some meat and potatoes into me. It was near 10:00 when we finally got into our Holiday Inn Express Hotel room, still gave us enough time to get down to the pool, and hot tub for a quick dip. I grabbed a snack ...

... to check the highway conditions heading towards Regina.  Snow and freezing rain the whole way.  So I checked into the Holiday Inn in downtown Winnipeg and settled in for the day. It is soooo nice to be out of Ontario.  That's one big bugger ...

... surreptiously. The young ladies at the tucked away Ontario Visitors Bureau were helpful and they convinced us to take the route to Winnipeg through the Lake of the Woods region. The lake is huge and features many fingers jutting out to the east. When ...

... night! We are in a hotel tonight as we got in really late.  Tommorrow we are going to spend the day looking around Winnipeg and take a break from driving.  We are also going to spend another night in the hotel, which is awesome because we got ...

... city. It was the first time we actually felt unsafe. I am not sure that I would go back any time soon. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Downtown, then walked to the Albert Docks, which was supposed to be a great area for tourists. I didn't really care for it, ...

... spend 2 days in Dubai until the Bangkok airport opened so gave me the name of the place they stayed as it is cheaper than the Holiday Inn I found. They are going to a small island and not the big one we are headed for. They gave us their information in ...

We made it to Vancouver, but not before the expected drama of airport security. Winnipeg went all out and emptied my backpack at the scanning desk. We think they are assuming that I am travelling alone and this is the reason why they target me every ...

... something for next time right?! ;O) Anyone fancy going to North California at any time, just give me a shout! ;O) Tomorrow, we are off on flights six and seven - San Francisco to Winnipeg, via Calgary. See you in Canada, Eh! ...

... hotel for the most part, because trying to get used to the full day in advance time change is not an easy task. We departed from Winnipeg at around 7:30 AM on October 31st 2011, flew to Denver, Colorado, stayed there for 5 hours on a lay-over, flew to ...

... Spine360. They really enjoyed meeting the colleagues socially. Seem to be a good group of people. Oh yeah, and the Red Wings clobbered Winnipeg on the ice. Our last view of the kids was when we passed them on the I-35 heading for the airport. We ...

We awoke to a sunny, crisp Winnipeg somnolently marking the final day of the Labor day weekend (yes, they actually do have labor in Canada). We got an early start through the deserted streets. We gassed up at a station that featured a young man who came ...

... years has proven its worth and saved the town on many occasions. The ball park where we watched the game and were welcomed to Winnipeg like dignitaries by the commentator at the behest of our host, was built on land recovered from the railways when it was ...

... ... what more can I say??? Best Dinner:  A 3-way tie, here. Joey's, Winnipeg, Manitoba AND Tumbleweeds, Medicine Hat, Alberta AND Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. All three were memorable meals - delicious, tasty, different, ...
