I'm back. However, return in a few hours for an actual new posting. Arrgghh, the horror, the horror. Boarded the Canadian Railway train and learned that there would be no internet for three days. If I knew that ahead of time, I would not have taken this train journey. Was this part of the trip worth it? Well, yes, and you'll learn about what we saw and did over the next couple of days.
I did not realize that overnight trains were so minimal, so limiting, so uncomfortable and so dangerous. Just walking to lunch is an adventure. I get close to falling in a safe, walking environment. On this train, the floor and walls are moving, it's noisy and you need to leave your train and walk to the next in bitter cold. There has been snow on the ground through the entire 3-day period.
Anyway, I'm now in the Chateau Jasper for one night, and over the next two days in Banff and Lake Louise will still be in hotels, which surely will have internet. Then the Rocky Mountaineer for two nights, and I just checked. No internet because they want passengers to disconnect and enjoy the scenery. Then, we'll be in Vancouver, and will forever try to avoid long train trips. On the other hand, there is this upcoming December train journey through Vietnam. I'll see if I can cancel it.
Actually, I had one blog ready to be posted, but had to disconnect to get to the train station. So if you access my new blog site, you will see this posting of three days ago which was not released. The title should be NIAGARA FALLS.
Aloha! See you back later today, the latest today version will be posted in a few hours.
