Default SUNDAY, SUNDAY,SUNDAY.....

Ok, i have this upcoming Sunday to hit as many of the Calgary shops as I can. If I have this plotted correctly in order they are:

A. Wife drop off point
B.Ocean Creations
C. Wai's
D. Reef Wonderland
E. Concept
F. Riverfront
G. Golds
H. Wife Pick up point

http://ca.maps.yahoo.com/#q1=1410+Ol...%2C+AB+T2G+2W1

So a few questions for you locals....

1. Are all these shops open on Sundays?
2. With shop hours of operation and driving time what are the chances i can hit all these shops?
3. if its unlikely i will make it to all these shops which ones should i eliminate?

Thanks inadvance for the advice, just looking to effectively use the time i have avaialble.

Thanks,
newsaltfan

You should be able to hit them all. I would eliminate Riverfront anyway, just so that you have more time at the other stores. Trust us on this one,

+ a bajillion. minus f and add peices and big als since they are not really out of the way and sometimes have some nice stuff.

imho go up edmonton trail ("IF"( I dont ever come from here ) ) you can get across the bridge there instead of center street. then turn left onto 16th and hang a hard right right after the gas station to get to wais. Then goto oceans then reef creations. then peices concepts big als. then golds.


The driving is minimal for this loop. and can be done really quick. I think you will find you may spend a reasonable amount of time in some stores. But some stores are really just a quick look and run.

Also there is tim hortons on center street north of 16th one right beside peices and one between concept and big als if you got south and hit 32nd,

I would suggest not including Pisces and Big Al's. Pricing and that they keep the best pieces to themselves (and 'friends') and that their acclimation and stocking habits ould use some work.

I still think pisces and big al's are worth looking at, even just for comparison purposes. Sometimes it's nice to see the whole range to know how good something is. Besides, it's 2 more reef stops! It's fun just to look.

Thanks for all the advice. Will likely hit big Al's and Pisces but he Wife will endure those so we'll hit those on Monday or Tuesday before heading home.

Thanks
