Meet Olan, Shuttle driver for the Banff Airporter, very nice chap, excited about our trip. So the adventure has certainly begun early. In your great divide manuals, please turn to the "shit will hit the fan" page to review what may go wrong. We delayed our flight to Friday, while in line to board an American Airlines 1:30 flight, plane was taken out of service. Scrambled to find another flight, they booked us on US Airways for 4:30. Arrived in Calgary after midnight, so we missed our shuttle, bikes didn't show up and neither did the baggage claim reps. We had to stay in a hotel in Calgary, get to the shuttle pick up at 8am, for the guy to tell us everything was all booked for the day. Turned out he was looking at the wrong screen and there was plenty of room. Got to Banff, after hours and numerous phone calls over 2 days we were able to get our bikes today. We plan to roll out Monday June 11 at 6am.
argh - NOT the way you wanted to start. but hey, it's all gravy from here, right?
