Possible topics...
1)Getting into and through the airport.
Edmonton isn't a particularly large airport. It's easy to get in and out of. It's about 30 minutes from downtown.
You'll probably fly in through Calgary or Vancouver. That's where you'll clear customs coming into Canada.
2)Rental car advice (Do I need an international drivers license?).
A valid U.S. drivers license is all I need.
I only go for business. Edmonton is home to the West Edmonton Mall, the largest mall in the world.
4)Things to bring.
It's Edmonton, not Mars. There's really nothing you can't get there that would be available in the U.S. (assuming that's where you're from).
Basically, I'm clueless here on everything about Edmonton, so I'm hoping I can get some good info.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]
