I was on the southbound train with some of you -- I'd like to think that I waved merrily at the northbound as it passed, but in reality, I was trying to keep my balance in the middle of an aisle (or possibly even in the space between cars --how on earth was THAT safe?!) Providence - White Plains for the first couple of years, PVD - PHL at the end. Good times, in a way that can only be "good" in retrospect or with the loose joints of a sleep-deprived 20-year-old.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was a no-social-life-having heterosexual woman attending a women's college, so I was mostly excited about all the boys on the trains. I usually didn't get a seat until NYC.
Oh yeah, never a seat until NYC. The Kids Today don't know how good they have it, with the lack of overselling trains!
This just caused me to look at the Mega bus- I could take the bus to NY, get there at 1, buy fabric, and come back at 5 for very little money. Of course it is 14 hours of travel time to spend 2 hours shopping!
JetBlue between JFK and ROC is actually pretty cheap.
Republic of China?
Rest of Canada? (That's an actual thing in Quebec. )
They have gone up- The Mega bus is about $40 and drops off within walking distance of the garment district. The plane is about $350, and then the cab to and from the airport.
ROC is the Rochester (NY) Airport code. I used to be able to get a round trip to NY for $99, but no longer...
I'm seeing prices of about $77, each way.
ROC = Rochester International Airport.
I am taking Amtrak today! I'm hoping that leaving at lunch will mean Union Station is slightly less hairy than it usually is the day before Thanksgiving.
Realistically, Union Station probably will be super crowded, super hot, and smell weirdly of SpaghettiOs.
