Why is that man flipping off the plane... oh! He's not. Sorry. The 1st and 3rd ads are wonderful, I'd gladly frame and hang them on my wall. Best of all, I'VE BEEN THERE! Banff is truly beautiful.

Funny, it looks like he is, doesn't it?

Beautiful! I love Canadian posters. I've seen a lot of Canadian artwork promoting their country and they're always gorgeous. :)

My dad always wanted to take a train ride across Canada. :)

I was researching Via Rail today, I have ridden Via Rail more than once as a youngster...there is a deal going on up in Ontario right now with Via Rail, they are offering a deluxe package, I think it's a week with Via Rail, riding a scenic route through Ontario, sleeper cars, diner car, observation car, etc. Found a cool video some guy shot of his experience. Looks great....
When I was six my folks and I rode Via Rail from Kitchener to Ottawa...good memories of that trip!

The first one is best, for obvious reasons! ;)

I cooked for the help at the Château Lake Louise.
9 bucks an hour. Big money in 1991. Plus free food, eating the scenery.

Banff and Lake Louise are both gorgeous and worth visiting, even when covered in tourists.

My boyfriend and I did a long bicycle tour last year, and we biked from Banff to Jasper, staying in hostels. Can't wait to do it again, but I'd love to be able to afford a night at the Banff Springs hotel or Lake Louise. Alas, they are both quite opulent.

Opulent sites attract corpulent types ;)

Uhhhhh....what?

If you mean, "nice places attract fat people," I'm not sure you're correct, and it's not like I care.
