On a research trip for Fairmont Hotels, Tom travels to Banff, Canada.


We spend the weekend in the landmark Fairmont Banff Springs.

 


The hotel features some very impressive landscaping.

 


Tom and G drive up the valley to Lake Louise.

 


On the drive back to Calgary, Tom and G stop off at their friends at the Copperthorn Ranch.

 


Besides being a working cattle ranch, the property boasts a movie set
used on a number of TV shows and films including "Shanghai Noon."
Here we see G practice her Kung Fu dialogue.

 


Apparently they built the sets small to make the actors look tall...or else they were built by Asians.
