In 1925 Dr. John & family traveled across Canada to Europe with a group of physicians on the premise of exchanging medical practices with other physicians in Canada and Europe. The trip lasted about 6 months, departing from San Francisco to Vancouver, by rail to Toronto, by boat to England with trips to the continent, returning to the east coast traveling by train to San Diego and then back to SF.
Dad (Jack) wrote a diary. If I find it, I'll give the highlights.
