I think I can make it to this one. Will know more in the next couple of weeks. I just worry about traveling in the U.S. as a Canadian with a British passport(dual citizenship)...lol. I went to Guatemala last year on a mission trip with 15 other guys. Going through customs in New York all 15 practically walked on through with Canadian passports like they owned the airport, but because of my British passport I was separated, questioned, fingerprinted and photographed. Very nerve racking. I was thinking if they try to strip search me I'm running. All in all though I have to say that I spent half a day in New York and I absolutely loved New Yorkers. The city I live in is about 1 million people so I was thought that in a city as big as New York the people would be very ignorant but it was just the opposite. Everyone was more than willing to help out with directions, bus times etc. Anyway, I ramble, I hope to see you all in Nashville.
With love
Scott

Hi Scott,
It's funny, last year I went on a business trip to Calgary, I was traveling with a Canadian citizen and he just breezed through customs as I was pulled off to the side for a bit more scrutiny, they sure took their sweet time. On the return trip it was exactly the opposite.
I really loved the mountains in Alberta, Calgary is a beautiful city but my favorite part was spending some time in Banff National Park as well as the Banff Inn (The Fairmont) it looks like a Scottish Castle, very impressive.
Hope to see you in Nashville!
Joe
