Trans Canadian Rail Adventure
The 2,775 mile train journey across Canada provided a great opportunity to experience a wide variety of scenery, from forests laced with lakes and rivers, to wide open prairies to the majesty of the Canadian Rockies.
Trans Canadian: Toronto to Winnipeg
After arriving in Toronto and spending Saturday seeing the city, we boarded The Canadian late that night to begin our journey west.
Highlands and History: Riding the Rails through Scotland
A 12 day journey in June 2009 around Scotland by train made a special mother / 18 year-old daughter trip.
Scotland: Aviemore
After flights from the US to Manchester, England, we made our way into Scotland on different four trains before arriving in Aviemore. We were able to enjoy a nice hike in the national park and an afternoon walk and dinner in Inverness later that day.
Email: Greetings from Aviemore, Scotland
Lauren and I are now in Scotland for 10 days, taking a mother / daughter trip to enjoy the country’s scenery and history the old fashioned way – by train.
Scotland: Edinburgh
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, was our last stop on our train journey. We spent time here visiting many historic sights as well as several museums.
Across the USA by Train
Traveling across the USA by train is an unique way to see and experience the variety and scale of the country. We broke up the journey, stretching it into a 17 day trip in August / September 2004, by stopping at Glacier National Park for five days and visiting Chicago before reaching New York City.
Trans USA Train: En Route and to New York City, New York
New York City was our final destination on the Trans USA train journey. Here we visited a variety of locations in the city, including the United Nations, Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich Village and Central Park.
