Hah!

Thanks for this, I’ll see what I can do about the timeline. Thankfully my daughter travels really well, and yeah, we have games, an dramatised audio version of the chronicles of narnia, a Switch and phones with movies. It’ll definitely be a stretch but I think she’ll be ok. :)

Nice, thanks!

Awesome, thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thanks! I didn’t realise you couldn’t drive up to lake Louise or Moirane lake any more… It’s been decades since I’ve been there and was hoping to make the stop. Thanks!

This is exactly the sort of suggestion I’m looking for, thanks! I’ll put it on the itinerary!

Yeah, it’s only about 80km shorter than going through Ottawa, so it’s pretty close either way, but I guess we’d be less likely to hit traffic up north than in the Capital :)

Neat, thanks!

Thanks for this! We’re definitely giving Toronto a miss, going down there would add a good 10 hours to the drive (we’re going through Canada, not the states). We’re on the fence about going through Ottawa or crossing the border up near Royn/Temiskaming which would take us way north of Sudbury. My childhood friend who lives in Ottawa just got back to me that he’ll be out of town when where there, and I do know some people in Royn. But you do make a good point about enjoying the Canadian Shield while we can. We can’t draw the trip out too much because the Mrs is flying with the baby and I don’t want to leave her single parenting for too long. But we have left a couple days for sightseeing; Vancouver actually isn’t our final destination, but I have family there so we’ll stop in and spend a day with them.
