I live close enough to the Calgary airport I could be of help.

I have plans to drive to Saskatoon (7 hrs) but not til spring...no date is nailed in stone yet. But depending on how things work out at the Iowa end, I could plan my trip around that. I'd be going for a 'long' weekend, so four days.

I'd take a 'water' break for Coda. Do you know if he likes or hates cars? I would use one of my own kitty carriers, cleaned out properly (they're only used 1 - 2 times a year).

Let me know.
