I've taken the train from Kamloops to Calgary once. That went through Banff. However, that was a really long time ago (back in the mid 70's) and I don't remember much of it except being bored most of the time.

We have a train that runs through BC now called the Rocky Mountaineer. It makes a stop here in Quesnel and is apparently quite popular. www.rockymountaineer.com They even have a combo with a train ride through the Canadian rockies and an Alaskan cruise.

And they have one that is Vancouver to Halifax, which will cover you "coast to coast" and you get to come up through Fraser river to Quesnel. You miss Banff but you get to go through Jasper.


Another dream vacation for us. We camped along the river, north of Hope, a few years ago. Wish we would have kinown you then. We could have come on up for a mini-meet. Our son, Jeff, got blood poisoning from a sliver in his foot and didn't say anything to us about it until he was throwing up, and had a high fever. (he was 10 or 11 I think). We had to rush home fast. Beautiful country. Reminded me of Montana (Western). We'll be back.
 
Saw him in concert....forget his name though (the one that sings that song).

My first concert...probably was John Denver, but I will have to call my parents to double check. Bruce was great last night. I went with my sister and we got to thinking how cool my parents were taking all 6 of us to so many concerts. Mind you "cool" was Barry Manilow, John Denver, Air Supply...saw all of them MANY times. Trying to think of others but names are escaping me.

I can't believe how soon this cruise is coming. My dining room table is has stacks all over it. I am going to go through the kids clothes again today to pick out there special clothes. I think I am just about done buying clothes...I'm bummed they won't have brand new outfits every day (as I usually try to do with vacations) but 15 days! That would be a whole new wardrobe.

We are having the laundry debate - whether to bring enough clothes to cover all days or plan on doing laundry. I know we all have talked about this a lot. For me, I don't do laundry at home so not sure why I would want to do it on vacation. I HATE laundry. Everything about it. Not sure why...maybe some traumatic childhood thing...or maybe just plain lazy.

Anyway, figure I'd rather bring extra clothes and bring all the laundry home to get washed. Anyone else avoiding the laundry room?

I feel a bit silly having 100 pins now. Not sure what the kids will do with them all. Obviously they all can't fit on their lanyard. Do you think they will be giving out Castaway Club lanyards? We could have some "dummy" ones that are just used for trading. How is everyone else handling the extra pins they bought from Mousepinsonline (or something like that)?

Is anyone going to allow their children to swim in the goofy pool without them there? My 10 year old is really pushing to allow him and his brother (8) to be able to go to the Goofy pool as one of their areas they can go to together. DH and I are not going for it right now.

I am going to really try to catch up now. Miss my DISing!

I would let Gretchen at tghe Goofy pool alone when she was eight. She is a strong swimmer. But she is small....and sometimes the big kids overwhelmed her.

For the pins, we use the pin bags.....each of my kids have about 750 pins!!
 
Okay you guys you are in BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG trouble. I went to bed at 10:30pm EDT and I go to chruch and then I logon to 56 pages....something must be up??

I have you all have a good excuse!! (Do I sound like I get to join the mean mom club too?)

Lisa

not reaaly, since we aren't your kids it doesn't work. You sound like you are the jealous woman who wanted to stay up and party with us...same time same place new night you know were we will be....I'm just mean, and sometimes a mean mom.
