Employee bus trips?

So on the CP jobs page, it says that some of the benefits of being a CP employee include bus trips to New York and other places. Has anyone here ever done this? If so, what's it like?

I did an employee trip to Kennywood a couple of years ago, and it was a lot of fun. I don't know anyone who's done the other trips, but I've seen flyers for trips to NY, DC, and Chicago. The trip I went on was somewhere around $30/person.

I know the trips to Niagara Falls is a pretty big seller. I also did a trip to Kennywood when I worked there and it was alot of fun.

Since I live in Chicago, I took advantage of the Chicago bus trips just for a chance to go home for a few hours. Just was sad they couldn't figure out an overnight thing for it so I could enjoy the night life. After all, these big cities, the night life is half the excitement. Granted on CP pay, most can't afford a night in the big city.

I know the dc trip had a stay over, but was during the halloweekends. not sure on the others.

Yeah you work 6 days a week, and they know that so the trips are limited to day trips. For the most part I am usually so worn out that I just want to stay at home and refresh rather than take a trip that will probably get me back home extremely late so I have to work the next day with little sleep!

Plus they only have a few trips every season, and very few of them fell on my day off.

The NYC trip is in September after the park goes down to weekends. It is during the week because it is a few days long.
