well,our holiday period has come to an end.i take jan to the airport this morning,after a quick stop at jo and farons,so jan can say her goodbyes.
ive really enjoyed her being here,and she has said she has loved every minute of it,and doesnt really want to go home,but needs must and all that.she is coming back for a week at xmas,so i cant wait for that.
i took her in the truck yesterday,only to the lock up were all my gear was stored.we loaded everything in,and i started putting things in their respective places,while jan worked wonders with the duster and polish(thanks love).
we ate in the bar in the hotel last night,had a few drinks.the staff that was on, said goodbye to jan,after tellling her she shouldnt go.
so,im not looking forward to this morning,god knows what ill do next week.haha.at least i dont have to wait 9 months till i next see her.going to miss her loads

waterton park

had a great day out today with jo,faron,chris,tina and kids.
first we went to costco to get some stuff for the bbq,then off to waterton.
faron(chef) did the cooking,and as far as i know,we are all still here.haha.cheers matey,food was great.
later on in the day,we went up to cameron lake,and couldnt believe our eyes when we got there.it was still full of snow,but it was really warm.the pics say it all

didnt get much sleep,due to the damn sunburn and the sheet kept sticking to me.up early,and set off for a nosey at the hoover dam.the dam was great,well worth a look.had a couple of hours there,then set off for the canyon.im not going to bore you with details,ill let you make your own minds up with the pics,but it was bloody amazing

vegas

anyway,arrived in vegas,weather was red hot.hotel is amazing.after a good nights sleep,we had a mooch round.walked for hours,looking at the other hotels.
glad we are only here for a couple of days,couldnt do more than that here.
a couple of jans friends were here in vegas,bev and gary,so we got a cab and met them last night.what a brilliant night.they put a cinema show on the ceiling,it was fantastic.
there was this guy/girl.whatever trying to dance.if the video is on,please take a look.its funny as hell,and frightening.we stayed there till about 2am.got a cab back to our hotel,and hit the sack.

we had another day of walking(dont think ive ever walked so much)seen some great sights/shows.we check out in the morning to set off back to canada,with a couple of stop offs.

we decided to stay another night,due to the fact we had never walked so much.so we were just going to chill by the pool.i think i lay in the sun for way to long,and ended up looking like a bloody lobster.

we went across to new york new york for another of their pints of guiness(best ive ever had).we also had a meal.i had a steak and it was fantastic.after the meal we caught the bus and met gary and bev again.after a few drinks i started feeling a bit crap,and i was bloody freezing.i think i had a touch of sunstroke.we ended up getting the bus back after a couple of hours.

didnt get much sleep,due to the damn sunburn and the sheet kept sticking to me.up early,and set off for a nosey at the hoover dam.

my time with jan,after 9 months of not seeing her

My better half arrived on sunday afternoon.it was great to see her after 9 months.it has felt as if i hadnt seen her for years.
On the journey down to lethbridge,i kept saying to Jan that it felt weird having her sat next to me.it took some getting used to.
Tuesday night we went round to my mates house.Faron and Jo,had a meal which was great.Jan seemed to be enjoying herself,with her new friend Freya(Farons daughter)
I had planned a trip down to vegas,so Wednesday morning we set off.we made a stop at fFranks Slide.it was well worth the visit.very interesting.
anybody that goes to this centre,take time to watch the two films they put on,they are really worth watching.you begin to understand the devastation when the mountain came down.
we were planning to stop at fernie,the ski resort.we got there,had a walk round and decided,we were just going to get something to eat and drive a little longer.
we were coming upto bonners ferry,but i couldnt remember if i had seen a hotel when ive travelled through here before.i had completely forgot about the best western hotel,until i was reminded by faron.
what a hotel
it was right next to the river.the room had a little balcony,which looked across the river,and good views of the mountains.we had a quick dabble in the casino,which was pretty good,especiallyfor me as you could smoke in it.the rooms are good,very spacious,with a huge tv.anyway,up early to carry on down to vegas,with probably a couple more stops on the way down.
we got down to idaho falls and decided to stop over,found another best western hotel,not as good as the other one,but not bad.we set off early next morning due to being woke up by the tv making funny noises.i thought some tosser had set it as an an alarm,but no,it was a power cut.
