The hotel we stayed at was styled after a Scottish Baronial castle::
We did several different activities such as fly fishing: (Lane was in heaven)
Helicopter tour and hiking. They took us up into a secluded meadow (only accessible by helicopter) and we hiked, with a guide since there was no trail, down to a picnic spot where our lunches were waiting!
On another day we got a private guide (there was another tourist from Scotland also with us) and hiked several miles back up into British Columbia. I could not believe the wildflowers we walked through! We found some pretty amazing spots, and it was fun to not have to follow a trail!
Lane's client, that hosted the trip, had these amazing extravagant dinner's each night. One night, since the town of Banff has a lot of Scottish heritage, they did an entire night themed around this.
Outfits (which I got to keep!) , a bagpipe band, authentic food and entertainment- the works! And yes, Lane is in a real kilt! This night was so neat since we both have a lot of Scottish ancestors!
Just another example of the dinners. This night they brought in the Cirque du soleil and had performances in between each of our 4 courses. I was also pulled on stage...no joke... but only to do an improv sort of act... you'll have to ask Lane about it ;)
Yeah! to another fun stamp in the passport!!!

Holy cow! I didn't know I had friends that led such exciting, international travel-type lives. I love the last 3 posts. The pictures of from your trip are great, but my favorites have to be the ones of you and your little twin (she really does look like you). Also, I love the dance moves. Did you teach her how to get down? I'm with you on the moldings, by the way. I love to build and improve things. We own a skill saw and miter saw that are mine, I got them for my birthday a few years ago! Love reading your updates, just wish I could see you some time!
Love,
