Alberta Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Baguettes, really can't be duplicated anywhere else.
Aren't I unpleasantly surprised to see the weather has turned for the worst, and it's -20°C out here. I guess considering the weather that I have seen in Spain, France and Germany, it's not too much of a shock. Let's see, I wandered around Frankfurt for a couple hours getting on trains with directions Hauptewachte and that type of thing... It was kind of freaky walking around and not knowing hardly any German except for Gudentag and Danke but I managed to buy some chocolates and weird euro shoes and I was on my way home. I never made it to [View Full Entry]

The Final Countdown North America » Canada » Alberta » Calgary
The final countdown has begun. In only 3 days until I will be on the beaches of Ecuador and winter jackets and mittens will be a distant memory. Now is the big push to finish packing, attempt to ensure that I have all of the necessities and say my final goodbyes. Things have been, and will continue to be crazy, but it will all be worth it when I am enjoying the sun and surf and get news of that back home is 40 below! [View Full Entry]

Just got home North America » Canada » Alberta » Edmonton
So I just got home from a three and a half year trip. I am tired. I wrote about the whole thing at Whereshegoes Writings I have to be honest. I need a break. There are so many things going through my head right now and I mostly feel like an emotional mess. I know this can happen. I have set myself up pretty good tho except that I feel really isolated at the moment. Its a little hard because I dont feel like many people really understand. And I am tired of trying to explain it. I guess I just [View Full Entry]

Cairo North America » Canada » Alberta » Calgary
It's time once again for Ms. High MAI-tenance and her hubby to shake off the lull of Yuppieville, pull out the trusty 39L MEC packs and live the leisurely lives of backpackers for 3 weeks. Our destination this time: Egypt. As usual, we have no set itinerary and we'll just see day to day where we end up! Shane and I were fancying heading over to Jordan for a few days to see Petra and Wadi Rum... I think Jordan's borders are open again after the recent bombings in Amman (very tragic). I guess we'll see; it's not like there isn't [View Full Entry]

Departure Day! North America » Canada » Alberta » Calgary
Hey Everyone. Just thought I'd get this thing set up before I leave. We take off this afternoon and get to India Monday night. Should be a fun flight :-) I'll try to get an entry in next week. I'm gonna try to get something up every few weeks, but I'm not sure how frequently I'll have internet access... Later, Parag [View Full Entry]

Having already grown strange claws, what will he look like when I get back?
Two Days before I leave, and I thought I would just send out a quick hello and goodbye to all my friends and family I am leaving in Calgary! My trip is mainly 2 parts: 1. A trip to Nexen's CPF (Central Processing Facility) in Yemen - Work Stuff 2. A side trip to see Sarah in Spain - Fun Stuff In between I have stopovers in London, Dubai, and Frankfurt. Hopefully a weekend in Paris will happen too! I'm really looking forward to both aspects of my trip because for one, I finally get to see all the people in [View Full Entry]

Wake up? No, not yet. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. It's now 7! Time to catch my train. The train has arrived early...just like me. I didn't sleep well from 5-7AM 10 for fear I would sleep through my alarm and 2) the Dutch girl in the bunk below me kept talking in her sleep. If you're going to talk in your sleep at least have something juicy for the rest of us that have to listen to you. haha It was interesting though that she was speaking English is her sleep! Anyhoo, I had most of my stuff packed up last [View Full Entry]

No more shopping please Chillaxin' in Edmonton Easy going day. I took it pretty easy today since I have vowed not to do any shopping of any sort other than grocery shopping. Let's see how long this lasts. haha While making my breakfast of Japanese instant noodles (just trying to finish up my stash of food before leaving catching the train tomorrow) I met a Japanese girl and Canadian guy making some "sandwich maker bundles". Some contained red bean, some corn, some tuna and cheese. You get the idea. They had well over a couple of dozen of them made up! [View Full Entry]
