So...i checked with the hotels in kananaskis and lake louise in order to see how easy/difficult it would be to get these "vouchers" for topping up.

well...in kananaskis, it is 20 miles, yes, 20 miles (!) from the store that has it. we're there with a bus tour / motor coach tour, so we aren't that mobile. at lake louise, the nearest place is a Petrol Canada place, which i actually took the trouble to call. it's 3+ kilometers from the hotel we'll be at. not far, but not that close without your own car. then again, maybe the bus will be kind enough to stop briefly...with the entire 40+ people waiting in the bus while i run in to get a top up voucher??!?? maybe, maybe not. who knows if they are willing to do that.

this is so much trouble for the simple thing of getting a cell phone to use for 12 days!! yikes!

never thought that that would be the case!
