We arrived Duncan's Place this afternoon ... see you here Friday.
Donna is a sucker for Cherry Ripes .... you will get a warm welcome!
When you come thru the Jasper National Park .... stop at the Sunwapta Falls Resort. Falls are great viewing but the receptionist is an Ozzie girl from the Gold Coast! Ask her to give you the $100/night cabin with open log fire deal she gave us!. From there is is a comfortable 450km drive to Duncan's.
Avoid staying Lake Louise ... there is a convention on and it's tourist season anyway. Try and make it to Sunwapta Falls.

And watch for BEARS! A Yank Tank takes a lot of stopping from 110kph when the damn things try to cross the road in front of you around a bend.
Driving "wrong side of the road" is Easy! Just treat it like a multilane highway ... then think at intersections what side of the road you wanna end up on. It's cool. Road rules are basicly same here.

Welcome to Canada Sarge. We're still hoping that some sort of miracle happens that will enable you to come see us in Fergus. WestJet is now flying into Waterloo Wellington airport from Regina. So much nicer than driving to Hamilton or Toronto.
We know all about traveling on a limited budget. It sucks to get so close to people and not be able to see or do the things you want to. Keep the faith.

I got an ear4lier flight than I thought out of Minnesota... but still missed Sarge by a half hour or so. Oh well... hopefully on the way back through we can make up for it.
Thanks for the Cherry Ripe bar.... MMMMMMMMMMMMM! It got shared around the crew and didn't last long.
Have a GREAT Canadian tour Sarge!!!

Lotti I will save a pack of Cherry Ripe Bites just for you! You are on a promise
Sarge, Duncan wasn't joking about the pot holes in Edmonton!!!!!!!!!
I'm working with him on a display unit for the airport and going with him tomorrow to install. Last major job before he joins the merry gang and go play in Moose jaw.

Sorry about missing you Dan....I'll catch you on the way back, gonna see if I can stay in Chilliwack or thereabouts, btw... I hope Donna got her cherry ripe too! The drive from your house to Kamloops was awesome, what utterly beautiful scenery, absolutley nothing like in Oz.... Magnificent!!! Kelly... I'll send ya an email....I can't get my @#%phone to work.... I had it set up for international roaming too. Hey!! They didnt have a pontiac midsize so I got a PT Cruiser... hehehehe

God damn Yank Tanks! You got one too! Must a Canadian thing about giving Ozzies ugly american cars to move back East from Vancouver! At least the PT Cruiser is easier on the eyes (just) than the Chrysler 300 that I dropped off last night.

It's been a busy time at the shop. Bushie is pitching in and we're making headway. One last major project I need to finish up today, then we can start relaxing a little. Jon has offered to give the girls and I a marbleizing demo tomorrow at the shop. Darlene and Anick both have done some signwriting in the past but haven't touched a brush in a long time. It'll give them a taste of what Letterheads is about.
