I am planning a trip from Fort Worth to California at the end of May next year. I’m taking the scenic route both ways.
Going, I am taking the TE and the CZ, both old friends, to Sacramento. After a night in Sacramento, I am taking the San Joaquin to Bakersfield and the bus to LAX. This will be my first time on the San Joaquin. After a day or so in LA, I am taking the CS to the Bay Area. I’ve taken 14 several times, but never 11.
After the event in the Bay Area, I’m taking the CS to Portland, where I will spend a night at a hotel I’ve used before. From Portland, I am taking the Cascades to Vancouver (B.C., not Washington). I tried for the Cascades in May 2017, but there was a mudslide...
From Vancouver, I’m booked on the Canadian to Toronto. This is a bucket list ride! I’ve built an extra day in Toronto into my schedule in case the Canadian runs late. I’m getting home on the Maple Leaf (another new friend) to Buffalo, then the LSL and TE back to Fort Worth.
Questions:
What is clearing customs northbound on the Cascades like?
What about tipping on the Canadian?
What is clearing customs southbound on the Maple Leaf like?
What other questions should I be asking???
