Awwww yeah.
So! In early April (the first to the eighth), I'm going to be taking a train trip across the country.

It sounds like such an amazing trip! I hope it doesn't go by too fast!
no subject
maybe not to live in 24/7, though! I've been out west twice before (though mostly in the Arizona/New Mexico area) and it was awesome. Deserts... ♥Same. Nine days to travel across the country and back is pretty fast. I have a feeling I'll be thinking about all that I'm missing when it's dark. XD

Trains are fast, so there's little that can be done about the speed. Take in as much as you can and savor it. It's too bad they couldn't stop when it's dark because of the scenery that'll be missed!
