    Where am I going? That’s a good question.

    London, actually. But I’m taking a series of trains (and later planes. Eventually)

    @skinnylatte Disappointed you're not taking a subterranean train across the Bering strait then the Transsiberian.

      4. Union station to Downtown LA on the LA Metro D line

      Fun fact: LA metro was just selling T-shirts with the slogan ‘Ride the D’. It was sold out very quickly

      EDIT: adding prices as a record. This was $1.75

      5. Bus no 4 from downtown LA to the fashion district

      This was $1.75

      Fun fact: if you take another bus or train within 2 hours on LA metro, the transfer is free. So going there and coming back can cost just $1.75

                @skinnylatte god I miss good tacos. There's not much of a Mexican population in Vancouver, and thus also a sad lack of good tacos. I wonder if tacos are the best thing about America.

                  3. Coast Starlight to Los Angeles

                  Fun fact: This train will travel through some of the most beautiful areas of the Pacific coast, and at least one rocket launch base

                  EDIT: adding prices as a record. This usually costs $48-120 depending on when you book it. I got it as part of my rail pass

                  @skinnylatte Coast Starlight is a bucket list train. After living on the circus train, I've run some of those rails, but some of the gorgeous bits the senior techs (fairly) claimed. If money and time weren't an issue, I'd like to go from NYC, to San Diego, via Chicago and Seattle. I'd get to check off Montana, Washington and Oregon in one trip, and go from the worst rails on the continent to the best. Still annoyed I slept through the announcement when we crossed the Great Salt Lake.

                                    @skinnylatte ABQ is my vote!
                                    I did a SNS -> LAX -> ABQ trip a few years ago using LAX as a provisioning stop both ways to visit JANM and Little Tokyo.

                                      Philippe's? You should definitely get a sandwich au jus.

                                        I haven’t been in a single automobile this week.

                                        I might break that spell when I get to Atlanta in a few days, although I do plan to ride a lot of MARTA

                                          @skinnylatte pretty sure it's no shoes, no problem on the train in NZ!
