Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Isn't it funny how some titles of movies go on to become household phrases? Think about it.....

Diamonds are Forever, Some Like it Hot, Back to the Future, Mission Impossible, Top Gun, The Dirty Dozen, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles are just a few examples.



Some day I'd like to complete the "Mission Impossible" go "Back to the Future" or be a "Top Gun" but for now, at least I can say I have done the "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" thing.


That's right. I did it...



Not in the way that John Candy and Steve Martin did it :












My trip wasn't that funny or stressful. And I didn't end up sleeping with a strange guy and wake up with my hand wedged between two uh -umm.... pillows. But I did the trip all the same.






Bi-Plane


I'm sure my journey was a little less glamorous!
I flew from Los Angeles to New York City and spent a few days running around the Big Apple.




Steam Engine

I then took the train from Union Station through New Jersey, and down to Philadelphia. After a few days in the historic city of "Brotherly Love" I rented a car and drove out to scenic Gettysburg.

Model T


I followed that up with a few nights in Chocolate City.....

(And I don't mean Washington D.C.)

try Hershey, PA.

All in all, it was a great trip. I'll be blogging about my adventures in the days ahead.


Thanks to all of you who stopped by to visit while I was away!
