Day 4

This morning, mom, shayne, kim and their daughter went out for groceries. Being Sunday, though, the Fruiteria and Mona's were closed. They went to Farmacia Guadalajera (think London Drugs without the electronics) and picked up a few things there, but they didn't have bacon. On the way back, they noticed the Fruiteria was open, and they had bacon. Breakfast was pancakes with maple-flavoured corn syrup and bacon.

Day 3

On day 3, we started the day by Mom and I heading to Mona's to buy some bacon and paper towel, we stopped at the tortillaria and bought a 1/2 kilo of Tortillas (5 pesos -- about 50c), fresh off the machine, then to Fruiteria Ordonez for an onion and some peppers, then back home. After breakfast, we went down to the ocean, and the kids got good and wet, and sandy.

Well, my internal clock is truly messed up now! I laid down for a nap around 5pm yesterday, and woke up at 5am today! I'm writing this at 6am on Day 3. Day 2 started (still in Calgary) very early in the morning. We woke up about 2:30 and left the house at about 3am. We got in line for baggage check, and were through that by 4:20, then lined up for security.

I guess I'll have to decide if today is day one or day zero.  I guess I'll call it day one, even though we're not in Mexico yet.  Today, we left Saskatoon about 10am, and arrived in Calgary at about 4pm Saskatoon time.  Another 1/2 hour and we were to my sister's place.  There's nothing too exciting yet, but we had a good trip.  My daughter noticed the new Children's Hospital which was very visable from Sarcee Trail.  It is painted all different colours and kind of looks like it was built out of lego.  Check the

Well, it seems the final details are now in place. The last thing left to do is pack our bags and then actually get ourselves to Mexico.

As usual, we spent a week at the lake in Summer 2006. Here are the daily highlights: (note: videos are not dial-up friendly)

Day 1

Sasktel has launched a new service on their Max "cable" TV service -- Local on Demand. Basically, this is a community channel, but rather than have scheduled programming, it is set up as an on-demand service, meaning you can watch what you want, when you want. So, what does this have to do with me?
