Dear Uncle Paul,

Thank you ahead offering us to stay at your home for our time in Calgary. We are really glad to have this "second" chance as we stayed too short in Calgary last time. Following up our conservation this morning, our primitive plan is leaving Banff to Calgary by Greyhound in the afternoon of Oct 15.
We also would like to know your plan: if you are going to take us to Lake Louise for a day then bring us back to Banff. Then we can hop back to our tour (Moose West Pass) on Wednesday Oct 22nd.

Keep in touch in email!

Cheers,
Ann.

Mom and I suddenly become very crazy about Banff and Jasper. So we join a hop-in, hop-off hostelling tour to visit the place second time for the year.
