h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If you're coming by here, I might be able to meet up with you
I'm in Northern Saskatchewan, but can travel to Central in a couple of hours (if my car has a window, and is still driveable)

Hey - Yes!

*goes into other room to look at map*

That works really well - at the moment we are going to go through Michigan, and then track north to Winnipeg, and on to Vancouver, so that works really well. (I just hope there is no-one in North Dakota or Montana we really have to see.... this could get complex!)

I would love to see you Dragon Lady.

It's nice to hear from you, Ben
I think you're going to have a great time on your travels
Karen

I am really looking forward to it. I have put you on a lable on the map - so you are official!

I'm looking forward to it

Hi Karen. How are you?

So... Ben and I have been getting details down on our itinerary. When you say 'central' SK, do you mean like, Saskatoon?

I don't know the first thing about road tripping across Canada. Is it reasonable to think something like... Winnipeg to Saskatoon, one day's drive; Saskatoon to Vancouver, two day's drive? Or is that just unrealistic?

Planning out the actual route is fun. It really brings all these place names to life!


GTB

Yes. I mean Saskatoon.
I'm never too sure about travel times, because when I travel, I get there when I get there IF I get there at all (Bad car, you know.)
Winnipeg to Saskatoon works, if you pass through Regina, I think. Regina is our Capital in Saskatchewan, but it's dirty and not friendly like Saskatoon. Saskatoon is prettier.
Karen

Great. I persuaded GTB that you can't drive at 60mph in mountains even if you are going down hill and we are building in some contingency in Vancouver too, so hopefully that is all fairly cool.

We are definitely going to go through Saskatoon. We dont have fixed dates yet - or anything like - but the nearest I can give is that we will be there somewhere aroudn the 12th or 14th July. We are still working on being more certain about the dates, they can slip two or three days either way at the moment, so I don't want to be more precise than that, till we have worked it out a bit more.

I really want to see you

Ben

Hi

Dates at last!

It looks like we arrive on Wednesday 13th August, and spend all day Thursday 14th in Saskatchewan, before going on to Alberta on the 15th.

Is this any good for you?



Ben

*posts so Karen sees, later*

The dates on the space are a bit different... You might want to take a peek, GT or Ben

Damn!

Well spotted, Amy, and thanks! They are sorted now.
