To sum up our trip to Calgary just after Christmas, was, it was great : )
Last Thursday we left Vancouver Island and took the 6:30 ferry to Vancouver. We caught the 620 bus to Airport Stn(which we thought would take us to the airport) but we had to catch another bus to the airport, then a shuttle from our hotel picked us up and took us back(by this time it was 1am and we had to be up by 7am to take our plane to Calgary). In the meantime another shuttle service dragged an empty airport cart beside it and caused lots of commotion! The hotel didn't have the credit card information for our step mom who paid for everything so we had to deal with that at 1:00 in the morning-- it was an eventful night! ;)
We got up last Friday morning, and got our flight to Calgary. We went shopping in Calgary, Banff and Canmore. We stayed at the 3 sisters resort village where our step mom lives. Because Selina, Cristina and I are sisters we had our pictures taken under the "3 sisters" sign : - ) We went up the Gondola in Banff, and checked out Lake Louise Chateau and Banff Springs Hotel(where they sell $50,000 coats!)
Selina was the major shopper going home with little money. I bought a couple of sweatshirts from American Eagle, a pair of pants from Old Navy and some souvenirs from the shops in Banff. Oh and a T-shirt from the Garage. We went to the Old spaghetti factory and had one heck of an awesome waiter! The streets in Banff were so packed New Years eve that it was $100 cover charge in the pubs!
We were going to go and do some outdoor activities(we saw the ice castle at Lake Louise) but everything was so expensive and us 3 girls prefer shopping anyway ;)
3 sisters village has a sauna, pool, hottub, the pool game and each house is over 2 million dollars a piece so we had a great time : ) We had our own suite too!
We went up to Chinamens peak and of course saw the gorgeous rocky mountains and a frozen over water fall.
It took almost 12 hours to get home yesterday because of high winds, turbulence in the air, and delays with flights and ferries but we made it! I won't be getting caught up on e-mails until next week.
