I haven't taken a train trip in over 30 years. I took my son from San Jose, CA to Seattle, WA to see my brother. I loved it and so did my son. I may have to write about it. You are inspiring.

Returning to California after our exoduce two years ago was a shock. I knew prices were higher here, but this is insane. I paid $5.49 for a 12-pack of soda in Arizona. Here it's $9.99 and I refuse to pay that. I won't even get started on the fuel prices. Thanks for the inspiration Keeley. I need to fire up those writing flames again. :)
