So, you wave at me on the Montreal/Toronto run and I expect the royal wave, palm facing your face. One never shows their palm to the common folk.

Margaret ... yep, from Halifax all the way to Vancovuer. It's actually 3 trains. Halifax to Montreal (overnight), Montreal to Toronto (day), and then Toronto to Vancouver (4 nights). Leave Halifax on Monday noon-ish, arrive Vancovuer about 7 am Saturday morning.



well, I said "various" points 'cos I don't know where you guys live, so I thought if i did every now and again, one of you might see!


Yes, it seems expensive, but if you look at it as a holiday with 5 nights at a decent hotel ........!

PLUS, if you are a senior, one of you gets to travel at half price (sometimes even less than that!).

Only herself and Sylvia could afford it, Janey. Jeesh, she must be a millionaire!

Wave at various points ... now she thinks she's the Queen ...

Herself did love taking the train cross-country here, I understand!

Oh how wonderful, Sylvia! I've always wanted to do that. Can't remember where you are, think it's west coast. Are you really going coast to coast?

Nope, just didn't see it!!


have a little free time this afternoon, so just looking around!

It's 2 weeks today that we fly to NS, and then take the train all the way back.

I shall wave at various poitns across the country and hope that at least someone sees.

Did you misread that, Janey? I just assumed that they had mistranscribed it. Didn't think a Canuck could misread anything!
Hey, when you see a man's name Wal*er, any intelligent person would assume Walter and not Walker.

You're just a carefree illiterate at heart, Sylvia!

... and the Canadian contingent chatters merrily away ...


But hey, I managed to misread his father's name at wiki, so pay me no heed!

Oh, smartypants Sylvia! You got a crystal ball?

............... or even by now!!


it's funny you two .......... I didn't even notice the absence of the comma, and immediately assumed that Jean was looking for a one-time Bishop of Lincoln!

Oh don't say that, Janey!
However, I fear you might be correct.
Thought there might be a response by now.

You got 'im nailed down.

Now, what comes next is where Jean says "thank you, I knew all that" and she's looking for what became of the siblings whose names she knew.

Oh, I'm too cynical.

Anyhow, the only thing for it is to search the censuses for each one, starting with the brothers, by their name and birth details.
