Canada

From time to time, people ask me in emails when I am returning to Australia. Well after my phone call with some cow at British Airways, my flight has been scheduled to arrive in Adelaide at noon on June 5th 2007 - just in time for lunch. That is the very latest I could book it for (its an 18 month ticket) but, of course, dates could always be brought forward depending on circumstances. I like to think it will remain as is.
I have started to make plans for Canada. Based on the advise I was given by Kate Mackenzie, I think I will definetely head for Banff (or Banfford as I like to call it). Banff is a resort town in the Rocky Mountains in south-west Alberta, on the British Columbian border. It has a population of around 8,000 people and is the highest town elevation in Canada. I am thinking I may take the 38 hour train ride from LA which will have me arrive in Vancouver about a half hour into Christmas day.
After a day or two I would take the 14 hours bus drive to Banff. Such a lengthy travel time is a bit daunting but it would be great to see all that beautiful scenery. I may, however, opt for the plane ride to Calgary. My decision to go to Canada will be dependent on what I hear about job oppurtunities in January.

SO no Josh for Xmas hey . . . .
Sure we'll cope one way or another . . . train and stuff is a great way to see the countryside but I find that a day or two tend to be the limit. After that you don't mind the bullet train or plane options so much!
I loved Canada in the short time I was there. Well worth a look I'd think though perhaps not in the early hours of Xmas morn . .
