How far can we drive in one day?

It's Thursday and K arrives tomorrow so we knew this was going to be a long driving day but... woof... we don't think D is ever going to stop. We left Wells, Nevada this morning around 6:00 a.m. and we're going to stop in either Calgary or Banff tonight. That's about 16 hours of driving. Oh well, I guess we'll have time to rest when everyone else gets here. Good night, from somewhere in Canada.

Just a quick note - we made it to Banff at about 2:00 in the morning on Friday. So, we're back on track. We have a few hours to rest until K comes in. We have to drive into Calgary to pick her up - so off to sleep for now.

Oh Can-a-da

Here we come.

We're off on vacation again. Or, at least we're trying to be on vacation.

We left home on Thursday morning August 30th. The night before we left - the air conditioner died so poor K has been stuck at home during the recent heat wave.

We, on the other hand have been stuck in "The Box" in a little nothing town about 20 miles north of Reno, Nevada. D was having truck problems so we had to stop and try to get it fixed. Something about a "turbo" something. D had to get a rental car which we weren't allowed to ride in (somehow that just doesn't seem fair). He was really nice and stayed with us and never left us alone - OK, well only once... but he had to go check on the truck. So much for a Labor Day vacation.

It's now Wednesday the 5th - we've gotten the truck back - and we're "ON THE ROAD AGAIN". We're hoping to get to at least Elko, NV tonight. We need to be in Calgary by Friday - to pick up K at the airport. We've got a lot of driving to do tomorrow, so we better stop blogging and let D get some sleep. Until tomorrow.
