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...

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!
