Distraction

Hey dudes,
we've got donuts in the office! EEK! not gonna have one, not gonna do it, nope nope nope.

So I'm distracting myself with planning a trip! Woohoo! Feb 6-8 (just a long weekend but still), hubby and I are flying to Calgary and staying in a hotel and watching a Flames game. Flights, hotel and game are paid for by boss (well cost us $100 total), meals and in town travel are on us. One way to deal with this is the way I initially was, try and do everything cheaply. Take a shuttle to hotel and back, walk everywhere else.

BUT I was looking at costs from the company travel agent (she gets good deals!) and came up with another idea. A romantic get away! Sweet! And since I'm the planner of trips, hubby doesn't like doing things like that and I do, it could be a suprise for him! Eek! (not that he cares but maybe the gesture?) Like we could go out for a nice supper, order room service breakfast and get a hotel with a hottub etc. Spend the whole weekend in the hotel room...

Fun? Well for me, hubby would probably sleep the whole time (he's got a sleeping problem I think), anyway, I also picked a hotel with a gym so that could work for me right?

Anybody know anything about Calgary? We're going to stay downtown, 1 mile from saddledome, walking distance to shopping, Calgary tower etc etc. But it also turns out that renting a car for the weekend would only be $60, so that might be more than a cab all weekend right? I'm such a country bumpkin I don't know these things. Advice on in-town travel? Things to do? How to plan a romantic get away? (Tash, you've been on a few of those right?)

Good, donut craving has passed.

EDIT - Found out that the cheaper hotel has a spa attached, couples massage? He'd be up for that! (I even think it will be covered in our insurance if it's by a registered massage therapist!) On the other hand he could do his lame tv watching sleeping in and stuff while I do some kind of spa thing. oooh fun!
