Chris’s Big Trip by Train

With Diane, Bonnie, and Wayne. Jim and I both stayed home, in case.

The group left Santa Barbara September 29, 2019, and will return October 17.

The Plan, plus notes on the first 11 days of the trip

Note to readers: Captions can be tricky. Anytime you see the first few words of a caption ending in an ellipsis ( … ) it means you’re not seeing the whole thing. You’ll be able to see the rest by just moving the cursor over the words you can see, without moving or clicking for about a second (I realize that’s too long for some of us, but that’s the way it is).

Maybe it’s only half a second.

In slideshow mode, entered by clicking on any image in a gallery or group, full captions are toggled on and off by simply clicking anywhere in the image.

Change trains in Los Angeles and head for Chicago.

After two days in a hotel in Chicago, it’s on to NYC

Now to Toronto and Vancouver

Two nights in NYC, then three in Toronto, makes five straight nights in hotels.

That’s the trip as of Wednesday, October 10. Well, on the 11th Chris actually called from somewhere near Saskatoon and we enjoyed an actual (private) conversation but no photos or written words.

Oh, one more thing, I cleaned up both kitty “accidents” about as soon as I took the photos, so you can stop worrying.

I’m posting this Sunday the 13th. They shoulda arrived in Vancouver at 8 this morning. I’d expect to hear from Chris soon.
