Oh no, that would be awful. Thanks for the heads up. Right now, I can't find a time that works unless I stay a night in Seattle or an extra night in Vancouver upon our return. Extra night means for $ for the hotel and extra dog kennel night for our boys. Looking like I just need to book roundtrip airfare from SA, TX to Vancouver. But not giving up on the train just yet. I want the train the whole way , not part train and part bus.
