The Journey

Our route is designed to tick off some "must see" places and people, NOT for efficiency. Our first stop is Los Angeles. A short trip south will see us visiting an old friend and university flatmate in Escondido. Then we brave the highways of California and drive to the geological splendour of the Grand Canyon and the bright lights of Las Vegas. From there we fly to New York for a whirlwind five days with Andy and Sarah. Then its a quick trip to Toronto and a half day to look at the main sights before we get on the train and watch the world go by for three days as we head west towards Kamloops, BC (by the red route). We have four days to catch up with old school friends and rotary exchange families then head to Vancouver for one last night before flying home.

The suitcase is on the floor

Five weeks to go and I'm throwing things at the suitcase already. The airfares, rental cars and trains are all booked, we have lined up an eclectic mix of accommodation and while we are away we are ticking off some North American icons.
Blast off Friday 15th April.
