They say you can't go home again. 33 years ago I left my home in Germany for Texas. Today I got to revisit my old house and school as an adult for the first time by myself. The buildings and memories still exist. But it's different somehow. I can best describe today as surreal.

I really enjoy traveling with Deutsche Bahn. I had a 15 minute delay which resulted in a misconnect. I managed to turn that 15 minute delay into a 2 hour EARLY arrival. Now I can enjoy my ICE chili con carne and glass Coke while watching the world fly by at 300 km/h.

This is going to be a fun takeoff. Those storm clouds don't look very friendly.

Toronto was a nice city to visit. We stayed at the Radisson on the harbour front, walked around downtown and even saw a GO Transit F59 in good light.

After 5 days and 4 nights, we finally made it to Toronto. It was an enjoyable 100 hours on the train but it will be nice to sleep in a bed that doesn't move tonight.

Good morning from beautiful western Ontario! The train is only 7 hours late, but on the bright side, we get to see parts of Canada we normally wouldn't. Cell service is virtually non existent out here which is a nice chance of pace.

Greetings from beautiful Saskatoon Saskatchewan! We left the splendor of the Rockies behind and are taking in the breathtaking views of the Canadian prairies.

It's almost boarding time! 96 hours of fun and excitement await us onboard Via Rail Canada's "Canadian" train. I hope it lives up to the hype!

Finally getting settled here in Vancouver BC. The weather is wonderful, the scenery is beautiful and everyone is so friendly. Well, except for that one guy.

I'm now sitting in a 28 year old 767-380 heading to Reykjavik. She started life working for Air New Zealand and now calls Iceland home. While everything looks a bit long in the tooth, I'm sure she'll do a fine job getting me safely to KEF.

You know if a steakhouse has this sign in the front window it's going to be good.
