A friend met me in Montreal and we enjoyed the first warm weekend there on the sun-lit terraces and then he flew home and I trained down to Toronto to board the Canadian.<BR/><BR/>A terrific cross country 3.5 days, using my roomette - with a daily shower just down the hall- and all meals and full first class amenities. The additional $500 USD was well wroth it!<BR/><BR/>From Vancouver, I rejoined Amtrak and spent several days with one daughter in San Francisco and a few days with my son and grands in San Diego. <BR/><BR/>I "backtracked" and went to Denver to visit my other daughter, traveled on through Chicago and Washington,DC and back home in Charleston, SC on the evening of the 30th day.<BR/><BR/>The first class treatment in Canada was a highlight and something I highly recommend!<BR/><BR/>I hope your research/presentation will encourage others to have a joyful railroad adventure.chuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586159917885238142noreply@blogger.com
