Westward bound

Ok I'm going away. This should be yay time and I'm really stressed but I thing it will work out ok. We don't have a lot of expendable income and I really should be careful with what I spend on this but I think it will go well!!!

We plan to go to a variety of places... Edmonton stay with brother = free food ! Yay!

Ideas:
Fort Edmonton
19th-century
replicas of streets from 1885 (the frontier era),
1905 (the year Edmonton became Alberta's capital).
----------------------------------------
The Corn Maze
Though the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionally-challenged visitors - adults and children alike - will require about one hour to travel through the maze of more than 5 km of twists and turns and 85 decision points. sound good?

Travel to Calgary visits friends- then on to Lake Louise!
There we can do the Ink Pots
The trail starts in Johnston canyon where you can see about seven water falls.
After viewing the falls one has the choice to turn back or go to on to see
the ink pots.
Next
Go to Columbia Ice fields at noon have lunch there on the ice!! The Columbia Ice fields Parkway parallels the continental divide which marks the watershed point of where all water flows East or West.

COOL!

Did you know...?

At 1,384 m (4,540 ft) above sea level, Banff is "Canada's Highest Town".The highest point along the Icefields Parkway is Bow Summit at 2,069 metres (6,787 feet) above sea level, while the elevation at the Village of Lake Louise is 1,534 metres (5,033 feet above sea level).

next... Driving to Yoho National Park BC
after that...Drumheller!

What is now Drumheller once lay on the Coastal Lowlands by a vast Inland Sea. The environment was ideal for the dinosaurs that roamed the area. Great sheets of ice that crept down from the north retreated little more than 10,000 years ago carving deep trenches into the prairie landscape. Erosion has since sculpted the hillsides, uncovering the bones of dinosaurs and shaping the dramatic and mysterious badlands. Early explorers noted the coal and bones in the valley – and prosperity as the first mine opened in 1911. The world class Royal Tyrrell Museum is located here and town services a large agricultural and ranch area.
The Hoodoos site is located 16 km south of Drumheller on Hoodoo Trail (Highway 10). Hoodoos make a great stop on the way to the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site in East Coulee as part of the Drumheller Self-Guided Tour.
We'll try to do this !

work again

I'm not enjoying my job. I think that can be sensed in the first entry I ever made. I have to say this system to test and test and test somemore for a job really isn't a lot of fun. People say how easy it is in the Public Service but I can tell you that any job is a job! Lately I want to change mine and any attempt I've made to change jobs I has met with the dreaded testing people. I'm sick of tests! Since last year I've tested about 20 times. Some are 3 + hours long others not even an hour, I've done tests at home and sent them back, I've done tests in rooms full of people and I've done testing in the smallest of rooms. I've been called for an interview to only find out that there was a testing component. I'm just plain sick of testing!!!!

Today I interviewed and I didn't feel great about it. I hope I gave enought to mark high. There are 4 people competing for it. I REALLY hope I get the job. Just in case I am going to contact my references and cross my fingers! Maybe I should't contact them?? Would that be bad luck???

Argue!
