Itinerary for our next two weeks
Kids - here is where we'll be for the next couple of weeks. We leave a week from today. These are the 1930's tour buses we will use to drive the famous "Going to the Sun" highway through Glacier National Park. The Amtrak has WiFi, but the hotels generally do not. Cell service will be spotty at best.
