This afternoon, sitting in the screen room of our hill house, we talked about our train trip. We have been discussing the trip for almost two years but there are so many variables that spinning down time and place has been difficult. We want to take a train trip across Canada and the US, and never use a rental car. One problem is where to start and stop and where to leave the truck. We would prefer to not repeat any leg of the journey but that leaves the truck in a place other than us. Our discussion was productive with Ken on the IPad and me with the map.
This is what we decided. We will take the trip either in late spring of 2012 or Autumn 2012. We will begin the trip in Jackson, taking the train to Chicago. From Chicago we go to Los Angeles, via Denver. Next north to Seattle, followed by the train through the Rockies. Lastly, depending when we go, we will take the train to Chicago and on to San Antonio or we will go right across Canada to Halifax. It should be four or five weeks, all on the trains.
I am excited. Now we just fill in the details.

You're both masochists!

Probably true but we're going to do it anyway.
