All aboard…all stop

And the adventure begins. I am on the Texas Eagle train heading out of Austin for the forty-two hour trip to Southern California to see my family and friends. I like riding the train and taking in the scenery that one would not see if they were to drive or fly. I have my iPhone, iPad, both are loaded with music and media to keep me busy and with the iPad I can also write a lot easier. Luckily there is a plug right here with the seats so when I drain my phone because I am using it as an access point for my iPad. I hope to get more posts that are greater than 140 characters. I was all settled in whine I found out that our car, the one continuing to LA, would be uncoupled in San Antonio, about ninety miles form home, to wait for the Sunset Limited train that goes to LA while the Texas Eagle turns around to head back up to Chicago. The Sunset Limited will pick up our car around 3am, and we will leave around 5:40am. The problem is that we get to San Antonio around 10pm. Eight, count them, eight hours that we will be standing still. And just over an hour or so away from my wife and pups (see the sad guys at home waiting for me ) Kinda sucks. It was my fault for not reading the schedule closer. At least I have the option to either wait in the station or sleep in the train car.




counting on one hand. just testing iBlogger on the iPhone
