Well, 56 hours on the train did not sound long if we said it quickly! Then we need to include the 5 hour delay, so saying 61 hours still doesn't sound that long ...... and to be fair it was a good journey. We spent the first few hours out of Jasper up in the observation car, staring like moegoes, with our mouths hanging open at the incredible Ro...

After Dominica I went back to Grenada for my mum's farewell/retirement service and it was great! The photographer's promised some pics so I'm waiting for his email. It turned out to be a bit awkward trying to take photographs myself as I was forced to sit right up front and being the minister's daughter (all the way from England as they kept say...

During the 2 and a half hours of waiting in New Jersey we played a few card games and slept. While we were waiting for Air Canada to swoop us up to go back home we had our chance to grab some greasy American food which was heaven in our Mouth's. After 65 minutes of Paula's mp3 music the plane arrived and we were finally able to board! We were gr...

My flight back to Toronto from Vancouver was at 7am, which means checking in at 5am, which means leaving hotel at 4am by expensive taxi as the airport buses don't start until 6am. Or stay at the Fairmont Airport Hotel at $250/night (approx 130quid!) So in my wisdom I decided to leave my bags in the hotel store whilst I went to Sunrise of Vancouv...
