Getting Geared Up



Alrighty then. After tornadic-like weather, power outages, and an Amtrak cancellation on our original train, the Empire Builder, we have successfully rescheduled for the Southwest Chief taking us through the southwest vs. the northwest.

We will depart Chicago's Union Station, head down south, connect in Kansas City and then again in New Mexico, and ultimately end up in Los Angeles. From there we will depart down the California coast via the California Surfliner to San Diego before returning to L.A. for some fun in the sun and a Rihanna concert.

Our trip begins tomorrow afternoon----today I am busy preparing for the departure.

I'm sad that Henry must be put in the kennel but I suspect he will enjoy himself in "doggy bootcamp"

Until tomorrow, train-spotters!

  1. We're only 30 miles East of LA, Jeremy. If you run out of things to do, come see us! :)

  2. That close?? We are heading down way to the San Diego area Monday afternoon once we get into Cali on the California Surfliner I believe. I'm so excited to see the coastline! :)
