| Why Canada? | Like many people we have distant relatives in Canada. In our case Alberta and British Columbia. This means we have seen and heard a great deal about the place. Mary's parents visited the area over 20 years ago and the scenery looked spectacular. We had decided to do a "memorable trip" before the family began to split up (our eldest daughter being about to start University). Canada was the obvious choice |

| Specific Requirements | The Athabascar Glacier, because Mary's parents had stood on it all those years ago Scenery and walking - in our case this meant the Rockies Whale Watching - hence Victoria Chill Out - there was to be a lot of driving so a few days rest towards the end was required - hence Whistler And finally . . . . Shopping (for 2 teenage daughters and a wife) - hence Vancouver. |

| The Diary | This was our first BIG adventure abroad, so I decided to keep a set of notes to help me remember the events of each day. On my return I enjoyed creating a typed Scrap Book together with all the memorabilia - tickets, brochures, postcards and photographs. Each web page is a diary day, using the original words (but laid out for browsing) and may contain links to photographs that will pop up in the middle of the screen like so. I have tried to provide a simple navigation system - only you can tell if it works. |

| The Links Page | Links to sites of places we visited or I found during my information gathering before and after the holiday. |
