Oh Banff is definitely on our itinerary - probably on our way back from Alaska.  Your pics are amazing&#33;&#33;&#33;  Thanks so much for sharing about the fun and games at the border....we&#39;re half expecting this kind of scrutinization.  We should take 2 weeks or a little less to get to Alaska and then spend 3 months in Alaska and a couple of weeks back through Canada again.<br />
Gee I wish I had an International phone - but I don&#39;t, so as I say... the only way will be to try and find places with wifi, which I&#39;ve already heard are few and far between.
