Spending the Night in Brandon

I had originally planned to spend the night in Winnipeg but I gained an hour on the time change and decided to press on to Brandon, 2.5 hours down the road. I managed to get the last room at the Motel 6 for a decent price but the internet here is slow. Must be the 4 basketball or hockey teams (girls) that checked in. They are all probably on the net downloading the latest 'Glee' show :-)

I will be up early and plan to scoot across Saskatchewan (with a quick stop in Regina) and head into Alberta and spend the night somewhere there, depending how far I get. The driving is certainly easier on the prairies as you just point the vehicle in one direction and drive straight until you need gas.

Manitobans pay about 15 cents less per litre for gas. I assume that is because of fewer provincial taxes on gas. Their roads are as nice as ours so I wonder what gives?

TTYL,

Jim
