In a couple of weeks the next stop will be in Panama for a five day adventure.
When the iPad was introduced a few months ago, I grappled with the decision of whether to buy one. So I began to think how I would use it and, of course, taking it on the road was one of those considerations.
After arriving in Toronto and spending Saturday seeing the city, we boarded The Canadian late that night to begin our journey west.
We continued through the plains of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, after leaving Winnipeg. The prairie began to give way as we reached Edmonton early on Tuesday morning. We soon saw the mountains in the distance.
After 84 hours and about 2,800 miles of train travel we arrived in Vancouver, British Columbia at 8:30 am this morning, about one hour ahead of schedule.
We spent last weekend in Portland, Oregon, as Darren ran in the Portland Marathon on Sunday morning. We had never been there before and I didn’t have a lot of time to research what to see and do. I thought I would use this as an opportunity to rely heavily on my iPhone for assistance.
We have launched a new section of Our Distant Journey, consisting of travelogues chronicling our train journeys on all six continents.
