Going West..
I gotta head to Edmonton sometime today...probably later this afternoon after I sleep. Found out late last Monday my dad had a heart attack. He was able to go to the clinic knowing something wasn't right and they flew him from Ft Mac to Edmonton right away. He is alright but there was some major damage and they already put a stint in.
My little brother was able to go out there tues which is good. Its going to be a quick trip since I absolutely need to be back at work Friday @ 4, but thanks to a couple awesome co-workers I was able to get my shifts for the week covered.
I think it is a good idea me and my boy stay in a hotel but I need to be able to pay cash for the room as I don't believe in credit cards. I am unsure if they would allow me to check in with a vanilla visa so if anyone knows more about this let me know if it is a possibility.
Any hotel suggestions would be great as well. Somewhere in the NW area would be best.
Thanks.

I can book you a hotel on my visa and meet you at the hotel if this will help you out. What hospital is he at? I will look-up what is around the area if you need help.
Sorry about your dad, I hope he will be ok.
He is already back home with my brother, and so far things seem to be ok. Sounds like he is feeling better now than he has for a while..
Pm sent as well GTA. Thank you again.

Kudos to GTA for his generosity.
+1 and this is why this is a good community and sure would like to keep it this way..
Nice gesture GTA.
Kudos GTA.
GTA, that was a Mitzvot . . . a righteous act.
Truck was serviced and got some sleep so I will be leaving the house shortly. Should only be about 7 hours or so from the cottage so it will be a late arrival, but my boy can sleep the whole way.
Pm'd GTA with some info and I will try and find some wi-fi in/around Edmonton to check messages before I make any late phone calls
Again, thank you everyone for your thoughts and I will be in touch ofcourse.

My whirlwind trip to Edmonton went quite well all things considered. Thank you once again to GTA for going above and beyond for me, and it was a pleasure to meet you. I hope you and your lady enjoy the gifts..a pic of you 2 in the scarves before heading to Cali would be great
I was tempted to go out atleast one night, since I know I could find the casino
Depending on how things go, I may be out there again over Easter or possibly sooner depending on work.
Dad is doing well, but I am not happy that he is going to be home alone most of the time. It looked like the nurses kicked the crap out of him with all the bruises he had all over, but he is feeling better than he has in a long time he says.
They were able to put the stent in through his arm with no complications which is great and I got to see pics of his heart before/after. I think he is going to seriously think about what he is going to do in regards to work etc and I am going to try and convince him to move out here....I don't think it is going to take too much to convince him. He is retired military and could easily retire from his current job. He is still a young man (only 54) and something like this changes what you view as important in your life. I think he would have come back with me this week if he could have. I just hope he makes what ever choice is right for him and I will be more than happy to help in any way I can.
Just thought I would give you guys an update and thank everyone again for your kind words, and no matter what anyone says about GTA, he will always be "Aces" to me

GTA is a kind hearted, loving father, hard worker, patriotic family man.... Ah whatever, trying to sell this guy is getting old.
