And I would love to travel across Canada on a train.<br /><br />I have had the pleasure of visiting your lovely city of Melbourne. One of my sons will spend the Christmas and New Year's holidays visiting Melbourne and New Zealand as he makes his way home from Malaysia.<br />Denise<br /><br /><br />Helen said...<br /><br />Denise agreed. Most people love their own country, but it is travel around other peoples' countries that makes us grow. Thankfully I think I will never tire of the travel experience :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-89633625904182742762010-11-25T17:10:31.700+11:002010-11-25T17:10:31.700+11:00Andrew, good to hear from you.

But I think the company faces a difference in the priorities of long distance tourists Vs those of short distance commuters.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-36231505693914502552010-11-25T10:32:47.936+11:002010-11-25T10:32:47.936+11:00What a grand trip.

Watching the magnificent countryside rush by is ok all evening and night, but during the day I want to really get to know the places I am visiting.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-41869543287176219932010-11-24T20:32:57.187+11:002010-11-24T20:32:57.187+11:00The best bit about train trips is you don't ha...The best bit about train trips is you don't have to book hotels and you don't have to move suitcases from hotel to hotel. The longer the train trip, the better. Our best train trip was probably in China - long, fascinating, quite comfortable.BigJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283874076478907359noreply@blogger.com
