Leaving on a big train; don’t know when she’ll be back again…

Nico’s on her way to Montreal
She boarded the train today in Halifax at 12:30 Atlantic (8:30 Pacific, 1:30 in Newfoundland). I missed her call from the station in Moncton, New Brunswick about two hours ago. Only a couple hours out of Nova Scotia, and I’m sure she’s feeling better already.
This line carries on until tomorrow (Monday) morning around 8 Eastern and she catches another train from Montreal to Toronto, for a short 7 hour trip. Being Toronto, and the evil soul sucking hub of transportation that it is, she’s going to have to find something to do between 3:30 in the afternoon and 9 the following morning. Hopefully the hostel up the road from the train station has a place she can crash for the night, otherwise it’s going to be a fitful night of energy drinks and hallucinations in the Toronto train station.
She gets on the train that she’ll be spending the most time with on Tuesday, and this is the one that will do the bulk of the work, moving her through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and finally through BC to Vancouver. Barring anything unplanned, she’ll show up at Main & Terminal in Vancouver Friday morning around 7:30. If you’re going to meet her there, bring the largest caramel macchiato you can find, and help her find her way to a place to sleep and shower.
Oh yeah, and apologies for the title of this post.
