Boston to Vancouver with Snow and tne Rail Experience!

Adventure indeed! Very exciting and most enjoyable. 
Boston was fantastic we thoroughly ehjoyed our time with Chris. He is a very together, intelligent and nice guy. It was a great meal that ended to soon.
The news was dominated by Nemo! Not the Capitan of the Nautilus or the Orange fish no this was a storm of epic proportions. I now understand why the weather channel is so popular over here!
A wonderful trip up through Cape Cod to Boston a fantastic town. Our little car then driving through the snow, ice and sleet soldiered on seat heaters on full reached Montpellier in Vermont. Again who knew what a wonderful place it would be. The best tapas bar I've been too and fantastic local craft beer in a meter of snow was a highlight.
Our little car braved the ice and snow and off to Toronto.
Our window cleaner fluid froze and every time someone passed they sprayed our windscreen it then froze; visability got interesting on occaisions!!!!!!!
New Zealand is predominately a North South country. Driving from Montreal was 3 hours into the sun.
Toronto is delightful and the Niagara falls in Winter was spectacular. It was nearly frozen over with massive ice flows and there were very few tourists.
On to the train, 4 nights in a cabin with 2 bunks, a wash basin and a toilet about the size of a Queen size bed I had the top bunk Kerry laughed a lot both at my agility and presentation. Again we met neat people and saw all sorts things. Riding through the Prarie with no hills on the horizon was brilliant and novel. The Rockies are all they promote them to be majestic, towering and powerful and the train trip really shows them off a treat. 
In Vancouver today a bit tired, the train wasn't bad for sleeping but it still moved and jolted alot so there were interuptions.
Just a wee grizzle about the States and Canada. Their product pricing is very annoying the quoted price is not the final price and it differs from state to state. I would really like to know what it is going to cost me.
