1: In September of 2009 I met my mother Carol, dad Gordie and sister Jeannie in Calgary, AB for a 2 week journey across the Pacific Northwest. Our trip did indeed include planes, trains & automobiles & ferries, busses & gondolas, as well. We traveled through Banff, AB, then took the Rocky Mountaineer train to Vancouver, BC. After a couple of days in Vancouver we boarded a bus which took us onto a ferry to Victoria BC and dropped us off right next to our hotel. After two days in Victoria we hopped aboard another ferry for our trip back to the United State where we met my sister Terry in Seattle. We spent a couple of days touring Seattle including a bittersweet visit to Mom & Dad's home on Puget Sound in Alki Beach where Joan was born. We then headed south and west around the Olympic Peninsula where we stayed at the Lake Quinault Lodge and hiked down to the beautiful Ruby Beach on the Pacific Ocean. It was a trip of a life time that I will never forget and always appreciate. | Enjoy!! | Kathy Kowing Schreiner | P.S.
