The Canadian
Looking to do this as my big vacation next year. Read through a few of the posts, and have found good info.
- Buy on a Tuesday and/or [either] Thanksgiving week to save $$$.
- Do coach from Toronto to Winnipeg and then switch to a berth.
- Bring cards (and my travel cribbage board).
- Bring a good book for nights.
A couple questions though:
- what is/are the meals to absolutely get?
- what are the good/best things to do/eat within walking distance of long stops? Even if I'm being fed on board, there are always local specialities
- what are the odds of a winter cancelation of the trip? I'm from the Northeast US, so i know how bad winters can get, but lake effect snow may be a different beast than plains or Rockies snow.
- is there a cool enough way to get from Vancouver to Seattle to fly out of SEA-TAC, or should I bypass that and fly back from Vancouver?
