What I meant to say..

This post was from a similar trip last fall, just realized I never finished it.

Well, another one of my life goals is coming true at this very moment. Since they introduced the Acela trains in the 1990s I've been dreaming of riding on one. I'm doing that right now. Am I really in the USA, riding a relatively high-speed passenger train with comfortable seats and a smooth ride? Yep. And it is all electric so it doesn't send up clouds of diesel smoke like the older trains do.

Four hours from Boston to New York. Yeh!
