The main purpose of our trip was to get away from the Thanksgiving crowd and celebrate the event with family. So we jetted ourselves to Calgary via Denver to spend time with family – to celebrate Thanksgiving and the begin the holiday festivities with Butch in Calgary.
Mark and I left for Calgary on a beautiful quiet Thanksgiving morning. Our trip began 3 blocks for our apartment beginning with a bus ride to La Guardia Airport. From there, it was a plane ride to Calgary via Denver. This was one of our shortest overseas trip – 5 hours minimum, the second being our trips to Geneva. Below is the flag of the Alberta province.
While the flight was totally uneventful, what got us a little worried was the public transport in Calgary. We decided that we would do on our typical travels, take public transportation to the airport and back. But because we were not familiar with the Canadian transportation system and the web did not provide us comprehensive details, we took a chance taking a bus (#57 Airport / Erin Woods at Stop 20) to the main train station (Whitehorn) and a train to the City Centre (1 SW or Olympic Plaza stop). It was a breeze. 
By 6:30 pm we immediately phoned Butch for a get-together in an hour. We planned to meet up at the hotel room (Butch was coming from Edmonton via the Greyhound) and have dinner at the upscale Thomson’s Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency in Calgary where we were staying for four days.
