Riding the rails

Tomorrow I head to NYC for work (I always want to say Neeew Yooork Citaaaay?! - like the cowboys in that salsa commercial when I say New York City). Don't you? Anyway, I'm taking the train instead of flying this time. I'm told by my fellow co-workers that this is the way to go. Way more comfortable, a lot less hassle, more laid back. So, we'll see.

Back in my first job out of college, I did a lot of traveling for alumni events. I was an Assistant to the Director of Alumni Relations at a private secondary school. One of my former bosses was deathly afraid of flying...So, he never did it. But, he had to travel all the time for work, so he always took the train. On one of our trips, we joined him on the train. We flew into Denver meeting him there and rode the train all the way to San Francisco. It was one of the best travel experiences I've had so far. The scenery was incredible - through the Rockies and Sierra Nevada's. Just a good time.

I'm looking forward to my train ride tomorrow, usually I dread traveling to NY. The past couple of times, I've had huge delays trying to get home out of Laguardia and flying isn't on the top of my list of favorite things to do...Which you already know.

I'll let ya know! I won't be posting for the next couple of days, cause I'll be pretty busy. I'm sure to have some good stories to come home with and I'll share them when I return.
