and so it begins...

Our rail trip proper is starting today. For all our outings up until now we used Egg Harbor Township as a base, but today we're heading over to Philadelphia and hitting the rails. Our plan has been revised somewhat, so now we plan to go down the Washington DC today, and from there we're taking a bus to Lynchburg, Virginia, and from there a train to New Orleans. Then our travels will take us along the bottom of the country, stopping at San Antonio in Texas, Tucson in Arizona (if it isn't on fire) and finally to Los Angeles, California. From here we'll hop to San Francisco and Las Vegas, and then onwards to Albuquerque, for White Sands, Roswell etc; and then we'll take the train up to Chicago and back to Philadelphia. I would create a map, but it's pretty much the same as the one on the first post of this blog, except with the cross-country line stopping at Chicago before returning to Philadelphia.

It's a long way. And it looks like we'll be spending half our lives on the train. But we cannot wait...
