Is the class with Raymond still?
If your kids are quite young hit up the Beatrix Potter Museum.
Raymond was my favourite prof at uni. Not too much work at all, and the guy has really good stories about his field work.
They're a bit hard to find here, I think they're mostly in Ireland (and recently in the UK). They have a Myspace, so you can see if you can get any off of there. The single 'Comeback Girl' should be...
Don't really know how the bands you listed sound, but Republic of Loosen is a good Irish band.
Their release this past summer:

From a few summers back:...
If you know for sure that you need to take the trains on those specified days I'd go with prebuying the tickets. Although if you plan on doing some other rail travel during that period go with the...
I really enjoyed 205, but it really depends what you're into. I have friends that are really into literature so they found learning about Greek and Roman stories to be insightful.
Truffle Pig's in Field, BC...anytime I go into the parks I go there to eat. Worth the drive out for sure!
Did summer semester at National University of Ireland-Galway. It was an field course, so the tuition included accommodation as the site was out in the middle of nowhere. The tuition was about $6000...
400 anniversary Bushmills, picked it up at duty free for 100 euros :drool:
otherwise regular Bushmills over ice will do.
Watch it all the time! Daffyd, Linda (the secretary) and Bubbles are hilarious. Great show.

If you don't mind taking a train at a specific time you can book them ahead on the internet for a discount. It usually works out to be about half the price but the fare is only good for that time and...
You could drive down HWY 22, go to the Bar-U Ranch then come back up on HWY 2 and stop off at Head-Smashed-In Bufffalo Jump.
You can also catch a train from Gatwick to St Pancras International, then switch to a train going to Stanstead.
In London look for Hostels near the transportation you intend to use to get to the airports. If you arrive/leave from Heathrow look for ones near the Piccadilly line and if you arrive/leave from...
ARKY 325, any ARKY courses taught by Dr Raymond (Incan, lowland South America, and a highland one). Super easy courses.
GEOG 361 or Political Geography (can't remember the number but it's...
I liked it:dunno: I saw it with a bunch of people I was in archaeology with, so maybe Indy just fulfills our delusions of excitement in archaeology.
I think only some of the lower level hikes in Banff are open at the moment. Last I checked on the Parks Canada website, a lot of the trails in the park are in poor condition due to ice/slush. It's...
www.swap.ca lists some opportunites, I'm not sure if the program is only open to students/under 26's though.
Pump & Tap have got $2 highballs, so you can start off there.
The Circle Line is a pain in the ass, especially if you use it on the weekend.
My favourite place to eat in London is on the King's Road (By Sloane Square) called Chelsea Kitchen. Nice food for a...
I've only stayed in hostels in London, but you could try getting a small room for your family. For ease of travel I suggest staying in the Victoria area. If you fly into Gatwick you can easily catch...
For all the hype the festival was getting the line-up is disappointing.
The Lake Louise area is nice, a bit busy though. Great hikes up around Moraine Lake and there are also some hike up the Icefield Parkway that are close by. You can also access trails in Yoho as well...
The raptor-emu things in the forest were the most awesome things in the movie. Overall it was crap.
ARKY 325, 343, 351, 353, 357
GEOG 361, 365, 371
All those classes are super easy and if you're interested in learning about different cultures the classes are a good starting point. For the most...
Emerald lake is really nice. If you decide to do it go for food at the Truffle Pig in Field.
I did one when I was eighteen. The tour was alright, you will be on a fairly fast paced schedule. I found that most of your 'day' in a place was spent on the bus travelling either to there or away...
I was wondering the same thing. i was thinking about a gift card to Willow Park Wines to stick into the card.
Can't wait to see it. Those movies made me want to be an archaeologist. Now I dig square holes and realise that I won't ever get to fight Nazi's.
The west coast is definitely a must see. The Connemara area is amazing for hill walking. It probably depends on what time of year you plan on being in Ireland as well though. The west coast during...
Lonelyplanet.com has a forum with tons of users, try posting and searching through there. They also have a pretty basic country guide up on their website, not as good as a guidebook but it's a start.
Any 200 level GEOG class is a breeze.
Pfantastic Pannoeke House has amazing food.
Yup, just fill out the form and submit it. I got my permission fairly soon after I applied. you might have to talk to someone in the department to see how exactly the courses might transfer though (I...
More than happy to pay a bit extra for a properly poured pint. Can't tell you the number of bad ones I've had around town.
Kilt and Caber has awesome nachos and the rest of the menus pretty good...
If you qualify/have a student card bring it with you to Europe. You can get student pricing to museums, theatre and sometimes on transport(mostly on local/national buses).
I got a flight on Zoom in...
You can also check out canadian-affair.ca for cheap flights to the UK, the airlines are either airtransat or Monarch. Sometimes it's more expensive than Zoom, but if you fly at the right time they...
