Travelmap and Wayward are very cool apps. But I never figured out how to get them to talk to each other. For example, the second day we were in Vancouver, we took a car tour. The driver, Brant, drove us all over Vancouver and, with over twenty years of tour guide experience, he had a lot to share and teach.

Out the door we went. Twenty minutes into that 6-ish hour drive, with rain and trucks to keep us company, we got a text from Amtrak saying the train was disrupted. Wha-!

After nine months of anticipation, our Cal/Can trip is coming up. Have you heard about it? We leave Saturday, October 21st to go from the east coast to the west coast, and back again, by train. Why the train? Traveling is stressful enough for me. I don’t fly — think carbon footprint and lack of feathers. Carl, ever patient and obliging, would prefer to drive. Our compromise is the train. I am creating a map blog of our trip and will be uploading photos and notes as we go along. I hope you’ll check it out at this link.
