EdmontonAlberta ~ a visit to Liz's son Chris, wife Jaime, and other sites This was also a trip using the new airline, New Leaf Travel - Flair Airline, flying from Abbotsford BC to Edmonton AB. Cost was approximately $100 each way, a real deal! The West Edmonton Mall (WEM) I know it's been around awhile, but I'd not been so I had to make a visit. It was quite the place, everything was there; hockey rink water park amusement park water sea animal show mini golf putting greens Theme streets; Bourbon, Parisian and of course the stores. It was enormous, and the place was busy with after Christmas shoppers. I loved the cold, the crispness of the snow. The trek we took to the North Saskatchewan River was huge. Tiring yes, but worth it. Now anyway, at the time, I wasn't so sure!
