Today was all about DRIVING. The drive from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg was a long one, both in distance and time: Just over 700 kilometres and about 9 hours. But, Bob would be proud of the fuel economy on this leg of the trip. I filled up in Thunder Bay and made it all the way to Winnipeg without another fill (the first time the Villager has gotten more than 700 kilometres on a tank - 723 to be exact). As we cruised in to Winnipeg, we stopped in at a Superstore Gasbar and found that they give 11 CENTS per litre. I received $7.40 in Superbucks :-)
We have driven over 12,500 kilometres so far. Two more legs (to Calgary, then home) should take us over 14,000!
We got to the Victoria Inn and Conference Centre to check in. I had reserved a room while in Deep River. When I spoke to the front desk, they had no reservation for us, but rooms were still available. It turns out that while booking the rooms through Expedia, I booked the Thunder Bay and Winnipeg hotels for the same night. Ooops. The room was only $93.00. We got a poolside room that was very nice, and the kids really enjoyed the dinosaur themed water park.
Off to Regina in the morning...
