CAA North & East Ontario

I have to admit that I seldom go to this end of the city. There are CAA outlets closer to home and to work, so I would not usually need to go to this location.
However, the CAA was advertising 1-​hour talks on a variety of topics, in a variety of cities in north and central Ontario, and one of them really intrigued me: it was a discussion of the Rocky Mountaineer, the train trip that goes through the mountains between Alberta and British Columbia. That’s a trip that has been on my bucket list only forever! So we went here for the talk. They had a speaker who gave us each a brochure, he offered a slide show of videos and pictures taken from the train, and they talked about the different services that the Mountaineer offers. It’s all very enticing! It’s like a cruise, because the costs also include the hotels. YES — hotels! It’s not a very long ride (I have recently been from the Alberta side to Kamloops through the mountains, which took 10 hours a beautiful trip! But this did not bring us near water, and we did not see much wild life. But we were so close to the mountains!) they go for a bit, take their time, and stop at certain very inviting junctures and you stay in a hotel (often but not necessarily a Fairmont), and they bring your bags up to your room. You have breakfast and lunch on the train; these meals are prepared by chefs that are actually preparing the food on the train… Ok, you get the picture! Let me know when you book your trip; I might just book at the same time!
The presentation was well set up; there were about 35 guests, and the organizers offered beverages and light snacks. They greeted us at the door and were very pleasant. It would be my pleasure do do business with this CAA outlet.
PS: If you are a member of the CAA, there are benefits that go with it when you book this trip — like bonus meals etc. CAA membership also gives discounts at a variety of places, like Capital Cruises, East Side Mario’s, and you can purchase tickets for different places — like Landmark Theatres (a couple of years ago, I got tickets for Calypso Theme Park). It has been worth it, in my experience!
