Adventures Abound

I am setting off on an adventure.  A 4-day train ride from DC to California.  The fun is in the journey; four days to sit, watch the country go by, read books, chat with people, and just reflect.  I was planning on just the train trip, visiting with my bestest friend in San Francisco, and seeing my family (mom, sister, nephew, brother-in-law).  Unexpectedly, and happily, I'm going to meet up with an old college friend in Chicago during my layover!  He was able to shift his schedule around to drive down and see me.  It's been far too long, so I'm happy.  An old high school friend has chimed in and wants to grab a quick lunch when I get to California.  What started in my mind as just a journey, is truly turning into an adventure.  I'm like a little kid waiting to leave for the train station! :)
