Amtraking out of Boston

Belinda — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:27:11 +0000

I initially was going to fly out of Boston to New Haven, but someone suggested that I take the Amtrak instead. It is potentially cheaper than flying and it’s quick and convenient. Other than the fact that I had to lug my suitcase down a flight of stairs because the escalator was being fixed, I would recommend it to anyone traveling Boston to New Haven over traveling by airplane. You don’t have to arrive early to check-in like at an airport. There’s no security lady telling you your carry-on is too big. You can carry a larger carry-on than allowed on an airplane. It is a two and a half hour scenic route. If you want to arrive in a shorter amount of time with fewer stops from Back Bay Station to New Haven, you can take the Acela Express for $87, but A and I opted for the Northeast Regional route for $44 each (booked online at www.amtrak.com).

Baby It’s Cold Outside from Belinda Dao on Vimeo.

Being a Southern Californian, I am not at all suited for the snow, yet alone the cold weather. The most snow I’ve seen was probably back during outdoor ed in sixth grade (and that’s only because El Nino occurred that year). I’ve only seen snow fall twice in my life and the second time was only two months ago when I was in Nashville. You can imagine my lack of preparedness when I came to Cleveland where the sight of snow was as far as the eye could see. My two days consisted of abnormally (for me, at least) low temperatures and almost constant snow fall. I cannot imagine how people survive in such conditions.

Where do you sit? Where do you walk? How do you function? What kind of place is this?
