I'm debating on whether to drive or fly. We normally do a road trip in Sep to the Desert SW; however, this would be an epic journey from the West Coast & back.

We would like to do this for nostalgic reasons as we haven't driven that way in 20 - 30 years...

I still haven't heard back from anyone at Axiom about the drop dead date for signing up for this. I even sent Debbie a PM. Hopefully it isn't too late already.

It's not too late at all. There is still lots of accommodation at the resort. That will be the cut off - not a date.

We made our bookings for our trip to Ontario this September.

We are flying WestJet from Comox, BC to Toronto to spend a couple of days with in-laws in the Niagara region. Then we'll drive up together to Ottawa for a few days then head over to Dwight for the party weekend - yahoooo!

There is a possibility that we may go to a friend's cottage in the Sudbury area for a few days before returning to Ottawa.

The icing on the cake will be our return trip. We will be taking a 5-day rail trip on VIA Rail from Ottawa to Vancouver. We have booked a 2-bed cabin so it should be a nice way to cross much of Canada in the beautiful & colourful fall season. It will be nostalgic as well, because that is exactly how I traveled as a naive 18 year old to 'boot camp' in the fall of 1966 - Belleville, Ontario to Vancouver, BC. I've wanted to do this for years...

Fantastic. The cross-Canada train trip is a wonderful experience (and I don't know anyone else who has done it). If you're like me it's worth waking up in the middle of the night when the train stops in out-of-the-way places so you can sight-see for a couple of minutes.

Sounds like a fantastic trip you have planned Tom. Lets start our prayers for good weather.

When we took a couple of European River Boat Tours not long ago, I spent much of my time when I should have been sleeping looking out the window so that I didn't miss anything, ha!

I will get off every chance that I can & wander around the platform...

A couple of years ago, my wife took the cross Canada train trip with her aunt(who lives in Oklahoma)starting from Toronto. (I couldn't go because of other commitments). They actually broke it up in to two sections by taking the Via from TO to Jasper, Alta., stopping in Jasper for a couple of nights, then taking a different train from Jasper(The Rocky Mountaineer) from Jasper to Vancouver. They both loved Jasper and the scenery was incredible. The Rocky Mountaineer is an excellent train trip, however, it has no sleeper cabins so they stopped one night in Kamloops, B.C.continuing on the next day till they reached their destination. It can be done either way(Via straight through to Vancouver) or what I described above.

Not cheap though, it was around $4000 each. I would expect though, the Via straight through would be a little less.
