I never really make it simple, do I? I started yesterday with a car ride to the Caltrain to the hotel shuttle. Today, I took the hotel shuttle to SFO, VirginAmerica to JFK, AirTrain to Jamaica Station, the E line subway to Lexington, the 6 line subway to Grand Central Station. Wish I’d had time [...]

NYC
I left JFK Airport for the first time ever! I’m scared of NYC. I’ve been here once or twice, but never flew in and never tried to take public transportation. I’ve been to the airport too many times to count. And I love coming here to JetBlue’s T5. At 7 am, I dragged my drowsy [...]

The adventure begins!
After walking to the caltrain station with all my gear in the hot sun, taking a shower this morning was a pointless effort. I am dripping in sweat. It is unpleasant to say the least. But The Archivist is taking it all in stride! If you don’t already know, we are off to Seoul. I [...]

Travelling at home
I spend so much time going away that sometimes I need to explore what is near me. A friend invited me to a girls lunch out in San Francisco. I decided to use public transportation, so my trip started at 9 am. I donned a bike helmet and rode my bike to the train station. [...]

And a hot, pierced, touchy-feely lesbian couple that I befriended later at the airport while standing in line. I thought [...]

Let me try this again
I’m on the commuter train back to South Station. Didn’t know where to buy tickets, so I don’t have one. Didn’t really sleep. Showered at 4:30 am since I wasn’t sleeping. Know I should eat, but not sure if I can. Not exactly starting the day off right.

Never a dull moment
You would all be highly disappointed if my travel today were completely uneventful, so here I go. Concord Trailways got me to Logan on time and without incident. JetBlue got me loaded on the plane, in time, and ready to go. That is where the trouble began. First off, I’m not looking forward to the [...]

On the bus
I was going to take the Downeaster train into Boston, but they don’t seem to have any between 8 am and noon. So I’m on Concord trailways bus line. Not as sexy as the train, but they have headphones and play a movie, so it makes the trip go by really fast. And I can [...]
