  Road trips are fun, educational,  0-0---   but they can also be stressful and expensive. Phillip-Morris World Headquarters I think this was Richmond, VA Selfie after a nap Rolling through the Harbor Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland Downtown Meriden, CT Hubbard Park, Meriden The view of Castle Craig at Hubbard Park in Meriden. We didn't have all  the time in the world to  drive to the top (it's a 15 20 minute drive) Stopped to take some pictures at the Connecticut State Capitol building between the commencement ceremony and the dinner party.   I used to go through this tunnel just at least once a week. Now, until this trip, .. I haven't been through a tunnel in almost two years.  This is the Tapanzee Bridge. We went this way because the G.W.

Anyone who has ever complained about traveling by airplane with kids, not having enough leg room, snacks, drinks, or TSA checkpoints hasn't had to travel by bus in the last decade.... I promise you!      Recently, I took a bus from Raleigh to New York City where I boarded a taxi to the train station and on to New Haven. It was a long 10 hours. I don't know how some people do that on a regular basis. I think I need like a 2 to three month window between bus trips... if it's even necessary.       Bus trips compared to plane trips.... Let's see what's a good comparison. How about McDonald's and Five Guys or Honda and Harley (sorry I know nothing about bikes.)  I have nothing against bus companies. They do a fine job at what they do. So, I won't name any company names in this post. I'm not even mad at any particular portion of the trip. Sure th...
