O Canada

A bit more research on the Toronto thing. The Goldleaf Rocky Mountaineer trip costs a bit over $1300, but apparently the seats under the "dome" canopy are the best way to do the trip and that's not because the on-board tucker makes up for the price difference. There's also a three-day service Vancouver-Toronto in the classic 1955 railroad cars. The "Romance by Rail" package sounds really nice, for about the same price. That'd eliminate mucking about with another air trip.

I can sell Kerri on either of those, I reckon!

Now, to either win that travel prize or come up with the money another way...

Oh, I'm drooling just thinking about being able to make that trip by rail! Alas, we can't afford to do that (not that we need to to get to Toronto since we're east of it).

We looked at that method of going to Victoria to visit our son last time but just couldn't manage it. I hope you get to make the trip. Then you can write about it and I can go on a virtual trip by rail. :)

My parents did Option 3 on this page last year, and they loved it. I hope you get to go, and then write all about it!!

Option 5 might be the go - Kerri dearly wants to see Lake Louise. ***SIGH*** More expense...

Oooo, yes. Lake Louise is gorgeous. I saw it about 9 or 10 years ago. Had to go to Calgary for a business trip and I took a day and drove up to Lake Louise and Banff. Absolutely beautiful. I'm envious of your trip already! :-)

Cripes. I haven't done it yet! If it was just me, I'd fly to Toronto on airmiles and stay in a hostel.

But I like the idea of travelling, writing about the trips and becoming a famous travel writer in a sort of gloriorious circle.

Hmm...

I guess you won't be all that close to Vermont to stop in and say hi, huh??? Darn! I hope you get to go on the trip. I booked a couple on their earlier this year and they loved it! Can't wait to read about your trip!
