T Minus 3

Three days til I launch the train trip, but really hours til I leave home base. What to pack for multiple time zones and climates and one smallish suitcase? Hmmm? And add running gear? Yikes! I'll be looking for laundromats, that's for sure! First stop, California, S.F. area, east and west bay to connect with family and friends. Blast off for Portland, OR evening of 7/26.

The Would-Be decided she could be and is going on a rails adventure this summer, which will include 10 states I've never traversed. Most will be whistle stops, but I'll spend some quality time in Oregon, Montana, and New Mexico (virgin territory) and old friend California, seeing relatives and friends along the way. Leaving the work world behind for three weeks, gonna write, read, and plan future escapes. maybe even check in from time to time.
