On Tuesday I'll be traveling to California for to visit my siblings and some extended family for Thanksgiving! Haven't seen my 96-year-old grandmother since she was, like, 92. I'm taking along my ocarina and one of the dolls to start conversations.

And I'll be taking the train! See, I really fucking hate air travel, because do I really need to finish this sentence? So I figure that taking a train instead will at least afford me new and different ways to be stressed out and inconvenienced.

Anyway, also gonna be in the Bay Area for a couple days. I know I've got a few LJ folks in that vicinity, too. Perhaps I'll see y'all there! Anything is possible when you're riding a train!

I think you're going to LOVE taking the train. If it's an overnight trip, a sleeper car really, truly is worth the extra money. But just being able to sit and watch the world go by, not having to worry about traffic or weather or ANYTHING, really--train travel is the best.

That's what I figure! And at least I won't have to be quite as cramped as I would be in a plane!

If you've never travelled by train before, you will definitely be a believer. It takes longer, yes. But the comfort level is SO much higher.

I LOVE taking trains. :D The rattle is comforting instead of OMG TOO NOISY like planes, and you get to watch things go by.
