Tomorrow morning I am once again climbing aboard Amtrak’s Southwest Chief for another trip up to one of my favorite cities, Chicago. R will be joining me this time although he will be flying up later in the afternoon after he gets off work. He took the train up with me a couple summers ago and really didn’t care for it anyway. That’s ok, I’ll enjoy the ride as I have many times before by myself.
So far, the Chief is running only 5 minutes behind which means I should be set for a 7:45am departure. It’s been running early into Chicago the past couple of days so hopefully that trend will continue. It’s always easier to carry the luggage on the El before rush hour starts.
Hope I get up on time, 6:30am will roll around awful quick and I’m always scared I will oversleep.
