This is a new venture for me - a blog! Who'd have thought? But encouraged by my pastor, who promised to comment, I'll give it a try! Guess I'm seldom at a loss for words so this shouldn't be difficult! LOL
We're leaving on a bus tour through Wendinger Travel out of New Ulm on Tues, Aug 23. Our designation is The Canadian Rockies! The bus begins to pick up travelors at Shakopee that morning at 6:45. We are staying Mon. night with our daughter and family in Rosemount. They will take us to the Burnsville Shopping Center parking lot by 7 a.m. From there, there are pickups in Stillwater and Fridley. In all there will be 47 passengers on our Bus #1. Yup, that's right! There will be a Bus #2 but it will not leave until the following day.
This trip will be a "poor man's" Alaska trip! Bill would really like to go to Alaska but the price is a little beyond our reach right now so we thought this would be the next best thing. That way we could save a little money for a trip to Florida when the baseball season's spring training comes around.
We've taken a Theilen bus tour out of New Ulm before. I was listening to KNUJ one day and they advertised an 8 day Fantasy Baseball trip to New York City and Cooperstown. That was back in 2002.
KNUJ sponsored it. Their sports jock, Tom Wheeler, was our bus escort and Jay Buckley Baseball Tours out of LaCrosse, WI, worked out the itinerary. We were hooked! We had a great time! We have been on four baseball tours with Jay Buckley and in 26 baseball parks since then. No baseball parks on this trip to the Canadian Rockies.
So sit back and we'll take you along on our travels - if I can figure out how to access this site again!!!
Way to go, Connie! Can't wait to hear about those Canadian Rockies.
