The Day After

Still waking up in the night, this time it was 4.00am, 5.00am, and finally 7.45 so I decided to get up.
I met Maude in the hotel dining room for breakfast at 8.30am, she was going through some of todays newspapers and she loved the photos that were taken. I especially liked the photos from the rip slide.
I had the biggest bowl of fruit for breakfast as well as some bacon and eggs, it was so nice to have a bit of time to relax.
Maude then took me to the Travel Alberta Office where Elise gave me a crash course in how to "blog". I also managed to ring Sam and find out how the family were doing at home, and I made arrangements for flowers to be delivered to Sam as a surprise for Valentine's Day (The surprise being that they will arrive on the 15th and not the 14th!) Still better late than never eh?
Maude brought me back to the Palliser as I was late for checking out so I quickly packed then walked round to Avis to pick up a rental car, the people at Avis were expecting me at 9 am and in I popped at 4 pm...oops
So off I went on my little adventure driving from Calgary to Banff. I managed to find the Douglas Fir Hotel with a little help from the guys in the petrol station who gave me my final directions.... and I did it without hitting anyone or anything!
My room is great I even have a spa bath in my bedroom its a pity Sam isn't here she would have loved that. The last time we had a spa bath in our bedroom was in the Luxur Hotel in Las Vegas on our honeymoon...but enough about that!
I cooked myself some bacon and eggs and then went for a swim and a sauna, then it was off to bed.
