As some of you know, I am taking a trip from Atlanta to NYC and Boston in mid-August.
It just occured to me to take the Downeaster round trip from Boston to Portland the same day.This will be entirely NEW mileage for me. I have been on that trip on a bus years ago(I remember somebody threw up), but not on a train.(hopefully nobody will throw up).
I note that it leaves from the North Station. I am not sure if I have even been in North Station. Should be fun.
The downside of this(no pun intended) is that it will cut sharply into my time in Boston. Boston is a lovely city but I have been there before and will no doubt be there again. This seems like the right thing to do. Glad I thought of it!!
Anybody out there have any Downeaster remembrances they would like to share?
