Unpacking

It’s been a week since returning to FL and I have only one more bag to unpack, my “train case” aka makeup bag. Not an easy task because I forgot that I already have everything I need, in my stuffed drawers, that was left before returning to NJ for the summer. There’s a zip bag with an assortment of lipsticks; one with hair accessories; another with “just in case” items form the medicine cabinet; etc, etc. Ugh! My daughter would say “You have no obligation to save or keep more than two of anything”. Maybe I’ll toss this bag in the bottom of the closet for now.

Finally – The Season Begins

Yesterday my number was finally called after waiting 90 minutes for my car to unload after arriving in Sanford, FL on the Amtrak Auto-train. Next trip I’ll pay extra for priority service. I actually didn’t mind the delay because I was well rested. I upgraded from Coach Seating on previous trips to a Roomette (more info on this at a later time). 2-1/2 hours later I’m home on the west coast. This year the season begins one month earlier than usual for me.
