You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
I would go by bike. I once did a 15 day 1500 km bike trip with my son across much of Ontario, and have fond memories of it. We saw all kinds of things you would miss in a car, bus, or train. I also crossed by train from Ontario to Alberta as a teen army cadet (no great memories) and have flown from Ontario to Canada’s east and west coasts many times but never enjoyed flying.
