So, I am crazy. I hate flying, I detest the airport and I hate that I cannot bring my own liquids there. I have decided that this year my journey home will be by train. Thanks Amtrak! It will take me two delightful days of train travel to reach Philly from Flagstaff. And, in my mind, it is totally worth it. Seriously- this is such a relief. I will be seeing the country as though it were another era. I will have time to myself and I get to watch the other weirdos to boot. Not all folks on the train are odd, just most of them. My stops: Flag to Chicago, Chicago to Philadelphia then the questionable choice of Springfield, Mass to Albany Rensselear, NY to Chicago and then on to AZ. Plus I have to drive from PHX to FLG to catch the train in the first place. The things that I talk myself into in the name of adventure. And not flying.

My train journey circa 1886? No, 2006!
