You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

What a great question this daily prompt… Considering the answer, lays the groundwork for my first months of retirement,

Free to travel, with no set timeframe, bucket list item, perhaps above all others, to travel coast to coast through this vast land that is America, and I would want to do it twice in succession I think,

It seems like it would be the perfect way to transition after decades of work life, to vagabond, wandering, seeing, experiencing, thinking, living, in motion.

I would ride the train from California to New York, or New Jersey, or DC. And then I would drive home, 3000 miles the other way, east to west, like my dad did when he came west so long ago.

Think of the stories, the sites, the sounds and smells, this is the America I want to see, twice in succession, west to east, and then east to west.

Good.
