Edmonton

Went to Edmonton for the first time today. Flew into the City Center Airport which is just north of the downtown area. The international airport is quite a ways south of the actual city. We took up some ppl who were all dressed up to go to some huge retirement party. While we were in the executive terminal area waiting around for them to finish at their party, there were a few other planes that had done the same thing, come for this guys retirement. From what I could gather it was someone pretty high up at Telus. We got to chat with some of the other pilots that were doing the same thing as us. Watched some tv there too.. and guess what was on?! Poker! I had about 3 other pilots all watching it with me and they were skeptical about watching poker (ie. boring to them) but by the end of it they were hooting and hollering at some of the plays being made.

Tomorrow I'm off to Medicine hat. I will log a crappy 1.5 hrs in my logbook and have to stay there for 2 days!! It's great to go long distances and stay the night somewhere, but it's freaking Medicine Hat.. it's a 45 min flight or 3hr drive away! Oh well, the hotel looks kinda decent. They've got full fitness facilities there, so I might just have to go and make use of them. Gotta kill quite a few hours in Medicine Hat.

Updates upon my return!
