If you make it there at the same time, I'll buy you a book at The Strand. 23 hours ago, Lily Valley said: Larry, my Gran is in New England, and I've never ever been to NYC. I'll definitely be in that area. Looks like late June / early July. Possibly early June. I'd love to go upstate for a reason. My pals went to college up there and I hear it's breathtaking. I also hear it's close to parts of Canadia. Yay! Come visit me! We will play! There will be books! There will be beer! There will be shenanigans!

I prefer a seat and some coffee. The trainyard is only a few blocks from my place. 3 hours ago, beniowa said: I'll let you know when.

I was baffled by this too. How is summer starting in September? This is very organised of you to plan so far ahead. I did Portland to Seattle this time last year. It was pleasant enough. Think it took about three hours. I've also done the Down-Easter (or some of it) - Portland - Boston - NYC. That was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unable to travel at all this summer for a variety of reasons. If I can't GO on vacation, I can THINK about going on vacation. 30-45 days is going to take a lot of planning.

Lily Valley Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ok, tentatively decided to take the Crescent up from New Orleans and stop in Huntsville, Atlanta, Charlotte, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia then New York. I should be in New England around the second week of July. I have "Fool Around New England" on my schedule until the third week of July. Then Detroit. I may fly to Minneapolis and skip Chicago. From Minneapolis, the Empire Builder to Spokane and then Seattle. South from there to Portland. I may reverse this depending on schedules. Our faculty Senate, because they are all liberal arts majors, moved our school year from mid-August back to August 7th or 8th. By doing so, they effectively gave us a paycut. This is moving up the chain as we speak and I expect we will get our currently unpaid 2 weeks of summer back. Also, my students are competing for a place on a high altitude balloon to study the solar eclipse on the 17th. This whole trip will be shifted if we win. I won't know until May.
