Roaming report - Sunny Saskatchewan

Like I said in my previous post, I spent the August long weekend in Saskatchewan visiting my soon-to-be pilot hubby (that's right, I'm married to an almost pilot :D). Now that you know why I was in Saskatchewan, you can forgive me for forgetting to take some photos of the places we ate at (I was excited to see him), but I do know all the places we went and remember if they were any good.

First off lets start with Moose Jaw. Yes Moose Jaw is a place, it's in Saskatchewan, about 45min west of Regina (I only say that because more often than not I get the puzzled look when people ask me where I went). My first dilemma was how on earth do I get from Regina airport to Moose Jaw (hubby was in class all day, and I would have to wait a couple of hours in the airport before he could pick me up). Well a quick look on the Regina airport website and I found I had two shuttle options; Hobo express or Roaming Buffalo.



I decided on the Roaming Buffalo and was pleasantly surprised. Dane is, I believe, the man who runs the company and was very pleasant on the phone when I was booking, explained clearly where he would meet me, and arrived just as I collected my bag (he had a little sign with the company logo and name). He is a very friendly man, helped me with my bags, and we had a great little conversation on the way to Moose Jaw. Total cost from the airport to downtown Moose Jaw was $70 and it was well worth it.

City Kate is back!

I hope you all didn't miss me too much! I do apologize for my absence, but you see, I was living the jet-setter life for a bit this month, and I couldn't find the time to sit down and write a proper blog post. Where have I been (I'm sure you are all asking yourselves)? The beginning of the month I was off to sunny Saskatchewan for the long weekend, and then I jetted off to Scotland (not quite so sunny) to visit my family. Now I did my best to remember to take photos, and take note of where I was eating (it wasn't easy, but I tried).

Stay tuned for my "roaming food reports" (I'm still a bit jet-lagged so I shall do my best to write them up ASAP....bring on the coffee!!)
