Quebec City, Canada: Part I (Departing Windsor, Ontario)

For my "milestone" birthday, Michael and his parents planned a trip to the lovely city of Quebec City, Canada. We decided to take the rail there and purchased tickets through Cam Am Travel. They are a travel agency who have great rail and hotel package deals. It is pretty old school where you pay over the phone and they mail (- yes, mail -) you your travel tickets. There was a bit of confusion over when the tickets were coming which led to several terse phone conversations with the folks at Cam Am. We did get the tickets several days before we were to depart. A little bit too close for me, but I got over it.

We arose at 3.30 AM to get ready and drive to the train station in Windsor, Ontario. Fortunately, there wasn't too much traffic, and the station was easy to find. As you can see in the picture below, it was still pretty dark outside. Our train departed Windsor at 6.25 EST. Twelve hours of travel laid ahead of us.
