Tourist visiting

#1 Unread post by ODD KNOB »

Hi all

found the site whilst I should have been planning the itinery for my honeymoon next month but thought I would pop on here instead.
I'm 29 years old get married this month in England and then heading over to Canada on honeymoon for 3 weeks.
Interests are my Bike only an Aprilia Pegasso 650 at the moment as passed a year ago and the wedding is taking all the money. I play rugb y when I can spend more time injured than playing recently but that must be old age.
I have allready checked out the jokes page and thats what tipped it for me to join.
So if you have any jokes, travel advice or a job for me i'll be speaking soon.

My question as well.
I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.

If you are going to be in the Banff area, and you have the added luxury of a car.....the Columbia Icefields and the Kananaskis hwy are something you may want to consider.
If you see bears please don't approach them or try to feed them. It may sound common sense, but you would be surprised at the amount of people that get out of their vehicles when the bears are nearby. :roll:

What dates will you be in Vancouver?

"One of the world's most spectacular highways..."
Yes, definitely check out the Icefields in Alberta & maybe even head all the way through to Jasper. You'll have to turn around to head back to Vancouver but going through the national parks is beautiful.

I'm sure zed has some suggestions for Toronto but the usual CN Tower of course and maybe even the castle (Casa Loma), oh wait, you guys have all kinds of castles already in England don't you :laughing:

Actually, if Vancouver goes any distance in the playoffs, there may be tickets available for playoff hockey...
