1. Early start…….train boarded at 8.20am
2. Journey 5.5 hours Masks must be worn at all times ,any argument and you will be removed……at the next station😷😷

3. Comfortable seats and quiet train apart from horn to warn at crossings etc.
4. Big luggage racks……they expect big bags and you don’t book them through to your destination
5. Mainly agricultural landscape.

The Great Lakes


6. Stops at stations on route

As you know, I am a bit of a fidgety person……..don’t looked shocked , I’m sure you have noticed, so how did I keep occupied so I didn’t annoy a long suffering husband. One beanie is finished. I played umpteen games on iPad. Looked at scenery. Beat husband at backgammon. Made up stories about trolley wars. Read newspaper online. Read book.Talked at husband…especially when it looked like he was getting comfortable for a snooze. Researched stuff for grandsons assignment. Watched speed of train on husbands phone . Drank coffee. Drank water …..drank more coffee and generally tried not to be annoying. Went to the loo…..shouldn’t drink too much coffee.😏     We made it to our hotel but the wifi is sooooooooo  woeful that we had to go to Tim Hortons to use their wifi……so your blog is bought to you by Tim, a French vanilla coffee and a maple glazed pecan donut.😃

Mike proving that he is long suffering.
