I'm not overly familiar with South Texas, but trips down there take at least a couple of days, so I can't do even those yet.<br /><br />I think I've seen where it is farther from Houston to El Paso, TX, than it is from Houston to Chicago...and that kind of blows my mind.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-49034010099734928232020-12-16T14:49:31.902-06:002020-12-16T14:49:31.902-06:00I've ridden trains in Europe quite a lot, but ...I've ridden trains in Europe quite a lot, but never in this country, Jen, and I've always wondered what it would be like to go across several states that way. The perfect train trip for me would be one of those open-ended kind of tickets that allowed you to jump off and on the train when you want to...no set schedule and no required end-destination.<br /><br />The trip you describe soundsSam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-2595288581017037092020-12-16T14:47:03.174-06:002020-12-16T14:47:03.174-06:00Me, too.

The irony is that with all this free time, I could be planning the next trip...but the biggest part of the fun for me comes from WANDERING the roads.

Just little day trips to the many towns I've not visited or heard of. <br />I did enjoy our trip from San Antone to Freer years ago!

It once crossed the country from San Diego, California to Savannah, Georgia--from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-41800870075457771712020-12-15T15:23:27.003-06:002020-12-15T15:23:27.003-06:00This book sounds interesting...but the thought of ...This book sounds interesting...but the thought of taking a road trip like this is what really appeals to me. :DLark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.com
