On Top of the World

The view from our spacious high rise in Edmonton, Alberta

Ken and I drove all day to Edmonton for a one-week vacation. We met up with our friends who generously put us up in their amazing condo for a week!

Not only did we have over 2000 square feet of luxury living space on the 17th floor, we had a swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, and gym. We are walking distance to the farmer's market and infamous "Whyte Avenue." We could light a fire, enjoy a river walk, watch cable tv, and check email on wireless internet.

Our hosts outfitted us with all kinds of organic groceries and treats, a Palm One cell phone to make local calls. The bed we slept in is a king size and it did everything except dishes. I mean, it massages, it heats, it raises your feet or head, depending on your mood. It cooks breakfast. No, wait, that's my job. We are talking, totally spoiled!

The break away was fantastic and I'll be telling you little more about our adventures later in the week!
