Getting time to travel again...

This coming week I'll be boarding AmTrak for a cross county ride to NY state. My son graduates on Friday from Culinary Institute and the train stops within 15 minutes of Hyde park. The last time I road the train was from San Diego to Los Angeles and back. There's a pretty ride, all along the coast. That's was back in 1989. This ride will take me through Illinios, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. My camera is on the charger already.

In March it's time to head over to Seattle. If the Space Needle is open I'll ride to the top. I have friends in Seattle and North Bend, so a little city and a little mountains. I think I've missed living on the west coast. Maybe it's just reminiscing. We'll find out soon enough.

Kind of a cross country year. I do like to travel.

  2. That will be a nice trip. If I had a car I'd drive down to say hello :-)

  3. That would've been cool, Doug! Now I wonder how many people I'll be passing along the way...I should maybe start waving from the windows in Illinois and not stop till I get there? (oh, I should be so lucky) :)

  5. West is good. Have fun going east, though. When it comes to cross country travel, it is mostly all good.
