Is there anything in Calgary?

Does anyone know? There is a US consulate there. It was home to the Winter Olympics many years ago. I guess I should look it up on Wikipedia and google for any yarn shops.

Hey, it is near Banff! Even Aussies have heard of Banff. Maybe we can do a day trip out there or something, weather permitting... 1.1 million people live there so it ain't small. Looks more interesting than Winnipeg, ahem! (DH was there in August.) It gets a lot of sun, for Canada, and winters are highly variable - chinook winds can make things rather warm or blizzards can bring temps low.

There's a few yarn shops too. Anywhere to get spinning stuff?

With any luck the new visa applications will go through no probs and we can fly across to Toronto and spend time with friends and family too! Hopefully we will get a white Christmas after all! Looks like Nathan's parents won't get to see Fort Collins now cos the visa stuff for us makes it too complicated. This dumb rule of not being able to enter earlier than 10 days before the job starts sucks bigtime!

Still we have an appointment, we get to see two big Canadian cities, we will get time with people we know (new friends are nice but sometimes you want something/someone familiar) and then we get to go to a WARM place! Oo err!
