Washington D.C. started off very bumpy. I missed my train and had to take a longer one to get there — 26 hours versus the original 18 hours.
I enjoyed a bed for the first time in days and woke up to a pretty view of the country side. Amtrak first class was quite a change to what I had gotten used to the nights before. Although it was nice on the train, I never felt like I belonged. I was easily half the age of everyone onboard and probably the only one who hadn’t been married for 20 years. But I did enjoy a couple of good meals and took plenty of naps. (more…)
Chicago. Oh Chicago. I stepped off the plane and was expecting it to feel freezing since everyone told me how cold it was going to be. I was wearing jeans / tshirt and it felt like home.
I spent some time at the airport charging my phone and plotting the first location. I took the orange line to state / lake. The whole time up and on the train I felt a little sketchy because the area was new to me. I eyed everyone and protected my bags. Everyone sermed nice and answered my questions. (more…)
I have though quite a bit about how I am going to update everyone on my trip. Of course there is twitter which is the majority of the news.
I plan on not sharing any previews of any images before I release them. I will release a small collection of images taken with the iphone and a single video summing up each city as I leave.
I just don’t think uploading all the images once they are edited give them proper credit. I am going to take my time editing the images and then release one every other day with a story that goes a long with it.
Thank you Chi Town Apple Store for lending me this iMac
