A Bad Ending to a Great Vacation

Two weeks ago my grandma had brought me and my sister jill to Banff, Canada and what an amazing place to go for a vacation. We had a great time horseback riding, whitewater rafting, canoeing, shopping, hiking, and walking on glaciers. We had so much fun doing all these activities in the mountains until...The last day of our vacation my grandma went to get our boarding passes across the street. She then took a picture of the hotel but when she stepped back she tripped on the curb and broke her hip. We brought her to the hospital and and my sister and i walked back and forth from the hotel to hospital lugging luggage to her. She was taken to a hospital in calgary where we were left alone to fly home together with eight dollars left in our wallets; it was like an episode of survivor. She is now coming home after spending another week in canada. And what a week!!!

I'm sorry that Bubbe had to go through all that...but what an adventure you and Jillian had in getting Bubbe to the hospital, getting her luggage to her, and then getting yourselves back to NJ safely! The only thing missing was the chance to eat bugs in order to survive!! =)
