Thank you both. This is very helpful. I know the Gold service is expensive, but it seems that it makes a significant difference in the overall experience. I think we've decided to do the 11-day/10 night circle which will give us the 2 nts. each in Jasper, Lake Louise & Banff, along with Vancouver and Kamloops.

Miriam, the Icefield Explorer sounds like a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks again,

Tina
