All Packed and Ready to Go

1 quart bag of toiletries per traveler? Just 1. Gah. How supremely frustrating. I’m determined to carry on and not check. I hate airline travel. Why ate we the only industrialized nation without high speed rail?

I took the shinkansen bullet train in Japan a couple of years ago and it made me wonder the same thing. I wish we had high speed rail here in the U.S.

I took the train from SF to New York for RWA a few years ago. THREE DAYS on a train. Throw in a bottled water shortage and overflowing toilets. The passengers nearly staged a coup. I’m so happy to be in my own town this year!!

Wouldn’t a coast-to-coast high speed train be ten kinds of awesome?!

MJ — what a horrifying scenario. *shudder*

The same thing happened to me, MJ travelling from NY to LA. We hit a cow somewhere in the desert and were delayed by 12 hours. The toilets became a no-go area and we almost ran out of food.

Then again, we travelled from Seattle to SF and had an official on board magician, lol

Kim – who hates flying and is ignoring the fact that it took 12 hours and 2 planes to actually get to Seattle.

And yet, if there were a train from the UK to New York, I would still take it. :)
