Happy Saturday! Hope you’re all having a splendid morning! I’m on the train making my way to Vancouver to spend the weekend with some of my favorite people ever! It’s going to be a fun weekend!
I’ve been looking forward to this all week…well more accurately since I made the plans with Kim. I haven’t seen her since before Christmas, at our beach weekend getaway, and I’m so glad we were able to fit in a visit before our next big get together…”Titanic 3D!” Titanic is the traditional Christmas movie for Kim, Nat and I, so when we heard it was coming out in 3D we knew we had to go, and we are going all out, life-jackets will be part of our movie-going attire!
Anyway…
The train is one of my favorite ways to travel (aside from the time Nat and I got in trouble for talking too loudly), I can just sit back and read, listen to music, sleep, or blog :0). And the people watching/conversations you overhear can make the trip even more entertaining.
The standout from this trip (and I’ve only been on the train for an hour) has been the three kids, who sat right in front of me, who got on the wrong train. So here’s what happened, two teenagers – boyfriend and girlfriend – plus little brother boarded the train in Tacoma. As the conductor comes down the aisle to take our tickets he looks at theirs and says, “Tell me this is wrong and you’re not going to Spokane.” Turns out they were supposed to get on the bus leaving the station just a few minutes before the train left. So, the conductor got in touch with their parents and they made alternate plans to get to their original destination. I know I would have been more than a little upset if that had happened to me as a teenager. Poor kids, they’ve got a long day of travel ahead of them!
Hope Saturday is going more smoothly for you than it is for those 3 kids!
