Planes, Trains and... Soon to be Automobiles

It's official! We go to America!

~"No Mate. Titanic go to America, in five minutes!" ~
Hey, no boat mentioned in the title of this post!
~"Daddy, it's a ship." ~
Gorramit, I've seen that movie way to many times... Never!

My return airfare to San Francisco is booked and paid for.

So are the flights from New York - Orlando and Miami - Las Vegas.

I've got my Amtrak 15 Day National Railpass that will take me to new and exciting places such as (in order):

  • San Francisco
  • Seattle
  • Minneapolis
  • Boston
  • Portland (Maine -- hopefully, otherwise it's a Greyhound, baby!)
  • Providence
  • Mystic
  • New York.

I just need to reserve a seat on the individual trains between the cities. Yep that is a 'seat', not a 'bed'. No such luxury on this trip.

We still need to arrange the car rental in Orlando that will allow us to drive down to Miami and I also need to arrange my own car rental out of Las Vegas so I can drive to the Grand Canyon, Roswell and Truth or Consequences -- Cool name or what?

Maybe you can take one of our bears or something and do the Amelie Gnome thing? Anyway, looks wonderful Katy. :-)

Bradley Bear is going with me so you never know. Perhaps he would enjoy some beary company on the trip :)

Now you just have to hang in there until departure time. It will come pretty quickly I'm sure - the year is flying past already.

I guess the pressure is on me now to book & pay for my tickets although I cannot do this until August 8 and will do first thing when I get to work that day.

When I'm home in Brisbane I'll book my flights & rail for travel within USA, Canada & Sweden.

Scotty Bear is definitely going and we might even stop at the Bear factory in Gettysburg PA too! He can also keep Bradley Bear company in New York & Florida :)
