Travel updates

The revised house swap contract was sent off yesterday, but no response yet. To be fair there's a lot to look at, but she's been very prompt with responses in the past. Of course, she had to wait for us, so...

Bitter arrived in Edmonton yesterday. The mountains were wonderful, the Fox Hotel in Banff was very nice (I'd never heard of it either), and everything worked out fine, despite the fact that she didn't take any of the 42 recommended courses of action - flying to Calgary, then driving up through Banff and Jasper to Edmonton (I'm not sure this was recommended - it's almost reasonable); her mother flying to Vancouver, then both driving to Edmonton; flying to Edmonton, then driving down to Banff and back to Edmonton. Is an accident that happened over 12 years ago the reason for all the alternatives? By that logic, no one should be allowed to do anything.

Today with her family, tomorrow afternoon and dinner with mine. No visit with her brother this time. It's too hard with such a short visit. I don't see the problem, since he seems intent on distancing himself from his immediate family, but I'm not directly related either.
