Trip Day 0: Waiting for our first train of many, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie.
My goal this trip is to post a picture a day, so that I’m forced to think and write about some of this as it’s happening, rather than waiting until I get home to look at my pictures and reflect. I mean, geez, I never did blog about Costa Rica… whoops. :-)
Anyway, so right now we’re at the train station in Suisun, and yes, that is all of our stuff. Not bad considering that includes two sleeping bags and at least ten pounds of trail mix, granola bars, and dried fruit. We dropped our cars at John’s parents’ house and his sister brought us here. We’re taking the train to Emeryville, Amtrak bus to the CalTrain station, and that train to the airport, where we’re going to check in for our flight tomorrow and then catch a shuttle to a hotel for a bit of sleep before our flight in the morning.
Ok, so this was a really boring start… I’ll try to make my next entry somewhat more interesting.
Train’s here. More tomorrow. :-)
