Last year I was fortunate to travel from Maine to California by train and write about the experience for several major newspapers. Since then, I’ve had lots of emails from readers who have been inspired to take the same trip. If you’re looking for a great summer vacation, I can highly recommend traveling across the country this way. You can read about my journey here: http://www.ajc.com/news/content/travel/otherdestinations/us_stories/2008/06/19/cross_country_american_train_trip.html
If you do travel by train, please let other blog readers know how you enjoyed your trip.
Stay tuned. Soon we’ll talk about some great New England trips, Quebec City, and for those of you who have asked about the writing life, some tips for breaking into print or on-line publications.
