We're Leaving' on a Jet Plane

About 31/2days to go before we leave for Italy. Here is my luggage for our three-week holiday. I'm learning to pack lighter with each trip. Aren't you impressed? In the red suitcase is my day pack and my telescoping cane, just in case, as well as clothes and all the other miscellaneous stuff one carries along on a trip.

First email post

Good morning!

Still trying to sort out posting methods to our blog. Please bear with me as I may have to do this several times.

Getting Ready

We are on the countdown to Italy - 19 days in Tuscany, Umbria, and Rome with friends.  I had planned to blog from Italy while travelling, but alas, the technology I had planned to use has failed, so I will resort to old-fashioned e-mail and post to the blog when we return in late May.

In the meantime, here are a few photos from our 2010 trip to whet your appetite.......

Penguins!

Here are some penguins at the Calgary zoo. I think they are enjoying their new high-class digs! We visited the zoo in February.

 

To Calgary Soon!

We'll be heading back to Calgary in mid-February for a couple of weeks to see family and a student friend in Edmonton.  Hope the good winter weather continues while we are there!

A week in Calgary

 At Heritage Park in the Snow

 Heritage Park, Calgary

 Boy, those horses are big!

Had a great visit to Calgary with a day at Heritage Park, shopping, and spending lots of time with our grandson and his mom and dad.  Weather was cold, and we had some snow too.  Great flights both ways, and no problems with lost luggage.

OFF TO CALGARY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS

We will be on our way to Calgary to see our grandson and his parents in early December.  Will try to post some photos of our activities there when the time comes.  In the meantime, enjoy the above pictures from fall of 2010!
