Arrive in Calgary

Lisa and I had an afternoon Delta flight from MYR to ATL, then caught a WestJet flight to Calgary. We arrived in the Calgary airport around 8 PM local time (PST). The airport was very new and nice. The customs process was much faster here than what we have previously seen in Mexico and Aruba.

The Tauck agent met us outside of baggage claim and drove us to the Westin in downtown Calgary. Overall, very impressed with Calgary. It looks like a very clean and modern city. The driver said that it has a population of 1,250,000. The top industry in Calgary is energy (oil companies). The second biggest industry is cattle/beef. There is a big rodeo in Calgary every July that is one of the biggest in North America.

We got to the hotel around 9 PM. Due to the northern latitude sunset wasn't until around 10:15 PM. We ate dinner at a really nice restaurant called Joey Eau Claire's. We both had BBQ Salmon Budda Bowls. Delicious and healthy! Time to sleep.Read more
