It will never happen now, but I always had a romantic idea of going across America by train, New York to Los Angeles.
Oh well, I guess maybe one day I can do London to Athens...
I'm actually doing that across Canada next summer! Bringing the whole family.*
*If I win the lottery.
Oh I couldn't really afford it in the U.S. either. But I did think maybe one day...
You can do new York to San Francisco, LA is overrated anyway.
I lived there for a decade and quite enjoyed it, but I won't be doing any of it because I'm getting the fuck out of this country before it's too late.
Grats if you have other options. Totally do it. You can still vote.
Apparently if you move to a swing state first, you become a swing-state voter forever. That's more valuable than even a Montana residency.
What makes a Montana residency valuable?
Their individual votes count more than those of more populous states.
New York to Los Angeles would be a lot easier logistically than London to Athens.
The American trip would only require one changeover in Chicago. The European trip would require a changeover in every country.
Really? I would have thought the EU would have made that unnecessary.
Passenger rail is still mainly a national competency. There have been some attempts at harmonizing different countries' rail networks, but it has been slow going.
That's unfortunate. I also wanted to go on the Trans-Siberian railway. That won't be happening either.
