Happy Sunday everybody&#33;<br />I just got back from my grand-niece&#39;s b&#39;day party. One of my brothers also lives in Royal Oak so he rode with us. It was in Grand Blanc (near Flint) about 45 minutes north of us. A nice drive today - sunny with a high of 60&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />We&#39;ve taken Amtrak to Chicago and back a couple times and then took Via-Rail from Windsor, Ontario to Toronto and back once. DH is a big train nut but I really enjoyed it too - less hassle than flying and cheaper too. <br /><b>James</b> - We&#39;ve always wanted to do the cross-Canada trip. Your trip from TX sounds great too. Boy, would DH enjoy that&#33;<br /><b>Andrea</b> - Your trip you&#39;re talking about sounds like a great family trip&#33; And what I like about train rides as opposed to driving is you can just sit back and relax and watch the scenery go by&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br /><b>Jackie</b> - How are you going to work with your sciatica so bad like that? I hope it feels better soon&#33;<br /><br />I gotta go and get me a snack of some kind. We had a big lunch at my nieces so I&#39;m not making dinner tonight.<br />I hope everybody&#39;s enjoying their Sunday&#33;<br />Later...<br /><br />
