Sep. 20th, 2005 06:42 pmI got back a day earlier than planned last night. The road trip to Calgary was disappointing but the destination was wonderful.
Nesha and I did not get the interesting stops and explorations that we expected on our way to Cowtown. Her twin sister was in a grumpy mood. All she wanted to do was get there as soon as possible and to come back home top Vancouver as soon as possible. With Nesha and me being 2 hours behind on our start, that didn't help matters. Nesha's sister wanted to visit their father but she was dreading her family. She also missed her boyfriend immensely and suggested that we drive there in one day... for a one day visit... and drive back home in one day. Nesha and I tried our best to salvage the trip.
The trip there was divided into two days and Nesha's sister was miserable. We couldn't take any breaks other than smoke breaks and for her and to refuel, as she wanted to just get to Calgary. However, things went better than expected once we got to Calgary. We got to her dad's place on Friday and went out for the women's birthdays with a dinner and then a movie.
On Saturday, all of us drove out to Alix. Nesha's family was so nice and we celebrated her grandfather's birthday on Saturday. Nesha's birthday, her twin's and her cousin's birthday were the day before. And her grandmother's birthday was on Monday... 5 birthdays within 4 days!
After one more enjoyable night with Nesha's dad, we left for Vancouver on Monday. Originally, Nesha and I wanted to do some horseback riding and whitewater rafting during our 2 day trip back but decided to drive straight back to Vancouver. Her sister was driving us crazy pining for her boyfriend so we made it back in about 9 hours. We only stopped for gas and a quick lunch. Her sister didn't even take any smoke breaks so we could get back to Vancouver even quicker. Oh well... it was raining in Golden anyway so we couldn't do much anyway. Nesha's sister was in a cheerful mood because we got back much sooner than expected so it all ended on a good note.
