Spoken like a true Calgarian!!

Have you heard about that new shopping center they are building just off deerfoot? It's supposed to have 700 stores....

Only another Calgarian would get that statement, which makes only more amusing to me.

Yeah I can't wait until it's built, even if it means that Ikea has to move down south.

We're going to Calgary. I was told that you need to have a birth certificate. I'm also bringing Nebo so I'm getting his updated vaccinations before we go and also a health certificate just in case.

I think for $$ we're just going to use VISA cards (they are accepted most anywhere, right?) I'm going to see if I can get some USD exchanged to CAD somewhere too just in case.

Make sure you have a copy of his rabies certificate. They won't let you back into the States without it. They may not ask for it at the Canadian border, but they will when you go back. The customs guy when I cross into Alaska always asks to see the rabies certificate. The canadian guy never does.

Yup, your Visa will work just fine in Calgary.

Well I guess this discussion was all for nothing.
I'm so bummed right now......
We can't go due to money reasons. I guess we're going to plan on it for next year though. I didn't realize how much it was going to cost in gasoline alone. My husband figured about $120.00 just in gas. We don't have any credit cards & I don't think we could get any in just a few hours.
Gosh, I really wish we had more money but, I still have to be thankful for what we do have.
It just feels like a BIG let-down though!

I am sorry your plan is ruined.

But just to reply to your initial question, I went to Canada many times (mainly to Vancouver and Richmond). I think I have also been to Benf (I know this is the wrong spelling), Lake Louise and a few other pretty places. Pretty place.

Hmm his rabies isn't due until next year, so I'm not getting it done this time. I'm not sure if I can find the actual certificate from last year...I know at the vet they will print out a paper that says what shots he received and when they are due which should have the rabies on it...I also have his tag. I hope that works! I'm gonna go search for the certificate though.

Your vet can print out another rabies certificate too. I've had to get reprints lots of times! I can usually find the ones for every dog, except the ones who are crossing the border with me!

Yep! Listen to Sara. I always take my birth certificate with me, but have never been asked to show it.

Oh..and some of the border guards prefer 'United States of America', when they ask where you are from. I've got so many funny border stories.... oiy...

I live in Canada too I LOVE it here I'm about a 30 minute drive away from downtown Toronto, I just love going there. I've been to BC and Alberta two summers ago, and I just love the scenary there. I went to the Edmonton mall, and its HUGE Very nice in there too. But I heard that they're building an even bigger mall near where I live I saw the construction, and its really really big.

I want to go to PEI or New Brunswick or something this summer. We might go to Quebec...but I don't know yet. I hope we will.

Julie- I'm jealous of your island It must be very nice there.....*sighs* I wish my family owned an island

My aunt and uncle have a farm in Bolton, Ontario (outside of Toronto), my cousin and her family live in Mississauga, Ontario. I have been to Bolton but not Mississauga yet. Of course I've been to Toronto, and I went to a really cool beach once - Wasaga Beach - it had a very nice boardwalk.

I've never been to Canada, but i'd love to go around Glacier's area. It looks SO gorgeous there... I'm jealous everytime I see her pictures.
