Which is going to make it even more interesting. Maybe they end up solving the others current problems and become allies or at least covert allies
 
My very tolerant wife of 30 years, my 17 year old son and I are going on a 30th wedding anniversary seven day vacation to the Canadian Rockies tomorrow. Start with 2 days in Vancouver then taking Canadian Railways (with an overnight stop) to Banff national park for two nights, a night in Lake Louise & a night in Calgary. I know Vancouver well as far as eateries and we are having dinner in Fairmont Lake Louise Hotel as part of trip when we are there.

Any recommendations on a good place for dinner in either Banff or Calgary? We are only in Calgary for an afternoon and have a flight back to Charlotte at 6:30 a.m. so we will be going to an early dinner after hitting Glenbow museum with my son.

Sounds like a great trip, NCJ!
Unfortunately been to Vancouver only once over 20 years ago, so don’t recall specific eateries.
But have a great time, man!
Maybe you can tweet Tyrese Samuel and pry his UCONN ‘lock’ loose, just a lil’ bit?!?
Joking.
Have fun!

I would say be adventurous and try reindeer or Elk. I would also say Moose but he would likely be offended.:lol:
Enjoy your Canadian adventure!

I'll have to be patient with the announcement as I'll be vacationing in Europe the next 2 weeks: Prague, Vienna, Salzburg and near Munich.
Anyone familiar with these area? Sorry for derailing this thread.
 
Prague is a fabulous old city—I think the only major city in Europe not bombed to pieces in WWII.
Great tower, bridges, a famous cathedral. Also, Franz Kafka’s home—a museum there.
The square where the Czechs faced the Soviet tanks is a haunting and inspiring site.
Enjoy your trip!

Prague is a great city and extremely inexpensive. Vienna is much more expensive. Great beers in both cities. Take a canal ride in all of your stops. In Vienna next to the Opera house is a restaurant known for sacher torte. Google it

Chi & Bobo-Thanks. The amount of available information is daunting so I appreciate the "Redmen.com" filter to help screen Google's results.

Ah Vienna! I used to travel there 4-6 times per year for work. I really love that City. 3 recommendations.
1) One evening, get a bottle of wine and a picnic dinner. The Opera is shown on wide screens on the lawn next to the Opera House. Hundreds of people will be doing the same thing. It is a great time.
2) Try authentic Wiener schnitzel. The best in the city is at Plachutta. Located at 38 Wollzeile. Also great for Tafelspitz (boiled beef). It’s served from a gigantic pot at your table, and is awesome.
3) For a fun day, take a cruise down the Danube to Bratislava. Great walking town with cobblestone streets and great restaurants.
Bonus tip: Vienna has great coffeehouses. Combined with a Sacher torte...and you are talking! Try the original tortes at the Hotel Sacher.
Please let me know if you need any more tips.

The other guys have talked about Prague and Vienna. I can tell you that besides Bruges, Munich is my favorite city in Europe hit the Marianplatz first and check out the beer halls and go from there. The food is great and if you're into culture there's plenty to see and do. If you've got couple of days rent a car and head south to the Black Forrest area hit any of the picturesque towns, Oberamagau is probably the best known. And check out Neuschmantein (sp.) Castle.

Salzburg is much more compact but equally loaded, you can see most of the city on foot. And take a tour of the salt mine, no joke.

Have a great time, it'll be hard not to.

Lol NCJohnnie!
In a meager attempt to get this thread stitched back to relevancy, my fingers are crossed a constructive and much-needed AC change is about to happen.
Let’s go Johnnies.

I just got back from the Amazon Jungle and this was me straddling the life or death line between Pro Mullin or New Coach Bandwagon above the Jungle. Obviously by the pic I’m impartial but about to fall either way after this year :) [attachment=263]D0EEB1FA-AA38-4E92-9FA9-2EC375CBA194.jpeg[/attachment]
