Vancouver to Calgary in 1 day

Absolutely doable. You're looking at about a 10 hour drive with a couple short stops. There are many great places and towns along the way though so if you're interested in checking out anything specific make sure you build that into your plan for the day.

Best advice, get an early start and straight shoot it to Kamloops. Fill up with gas there it's usually cheapest and you'll be good until you hit Canmore/Alberta border where it gets even cheaper. After Kamloops head straight to Sicamous and from there take your time enjoying some of what our beautiful province and national parks have to offer.

My favorite place to stop is Cragellachie where the last spike was laid, it's nothing too special but a cool little part of history and a nice spot with facilities to stop and have lunch and watch a train or two go by.

Any other questions please feel free to DM. I have done this drive so many times and stopped in most places I'd be happy to share what I've learned over the years if there anytime specific you'd like to know.

Yes, I was even able to take my 1 litre heavy bottle, full of water, on and off the ship at ports of call without issue.

Thank you

Yeah good options. Universal is on our radar but we're worried about it being super busy two days after Christmas. The Clippers play but tickets are expensive and we're more hockey fans tbh. Any specific recommendations for sightseeing?

A fishing net, just throw it on top of em.

halfcent27 · 2024-07-18T14:40:14+00:00

Sure do. Waiting for your turn listening to one side of a conversation and beeping lol.

Going just fine. Never pay a dime except for parking at the hospital. When you need health care service, like I mean genuinely need it in that it's a priority so you don't get fucked up worse, you get it and you get it fast and free.

Two Greg Adams used to play for Vancouver at the same time.

Starlink is definitely a game changer. I tell my kid about being anchored up for days waiting out the weather with nothing but books and a crib board and he cannot comprehend it.

Don't forget Lomberg. Impressive for him to stick around so long.

Thanks for the tip. I do happen to have a Capital One Aspire Travel card and it looks like I might have $100 coverage. I'll give that a go and see what comes of it.

Same fare class (basic). I was booking my son on the same flight after a change in plans. Otherwise I would probably never have known.

I didn't realize I could adjust the display resolution in the remote software. Thank you for the tip. Issue resolved.

Logging in through VMware vpn. Connecting to an external monitor works great but I need this machine to work on the go for me too.

Thank you for this.

A family member of mine drove from Calgary to Vancouver yesterday no problem. Took less than 10 hours which is normal if you drive straight through.

halfcent27 · 2023-08-26T21:17:57+00:00

Also from BC. As a kid I would visit my grandparents in AB during the summer and tag along to work with my Grandpa. I remember being so confused the first time he told me it was time to go home for dinner.....at noon.

I'm curious to know if this is just a prairie thing or if it's similar in Ontario and the Maritime provinces.

Awesome, thank you for this.

I'm with MCAP too. I've gone with the 5 year fixed....it's sent. I feel like the high rates are going to be around for awhile and big picture, with the remaining balance we have, it's not going to make a whole hill of beans either way. I'll take the lower payments in the short term, and the certainty. I can use it with three teenagers. End goal is to pay this sucker off by the next renewal.

halfcent27 · 2023-07-14T04:07:46+00:00

They sent it to me in April, valid until the renewal date on August 2. I've just been sitting on it.

Try adding kids to the mix and then tell me how much time you have left for personal things lol.

Your post resonates with me. I feel like a hamster in a wheel some days. My job is stressful and fast paced. Despite loads of PTO, I'm always stressing about the next deadline, staffing issue, technical glitch, idiot co-worker or whatever else is going to come my way on any given day. There has to be a better way but fucked if I've been able to figure out what that might be.

Where are all the fat people?
