Yes, I will be in one of the renovated rooms. As I understand it, the one accessible room is in the dome car.
Do you have any tips to offer in terms of successfully undergoing the trip and then flying back home?
I'm a little intimidated by no wifi on the train. Is there anything to do to pass the time besides staring out the window?
The longest I ever went on the train is the Amtrak to and from MTL and NYC. I found that Amtrak ride a big step down from the corridor where I always go VIA1.
I've done the entire corridor from Windsor to Quebec City, and am going to Quebec City tomorrow morning. But it's always VIA1 (I dislike the current business class apellative).
I've flown countless times between YOW and YWG, YEG, YYC and YVR. I've also driven it the American and Canadian routes several times. But never done the train. Sort of a bucket list kind of thing.
