The stuff we brought

With one suitcase, Dave and I left Virgina, via Amtrak to Penn Station. Aside from the cameras, this is all the stuff we brought with us, including gobs of tissue, UV sterilizer pen, various OTC meds, laundry soap, back issues of TIME, goodies for friends currently living in China and another suitcase. Dave is the best at packing suitcases and made quick work of everything we anticipate we will need over nearly a month.


We took the 3:15am train out of Union Station, by 7:30am we were in NYC. Compared to the last real train ride from Sacramento to Los Angeles, this trip was much better than before. After walking uptown, midtown and downtown, it was nice to meet up with John for a car ride to Nyack for some sleep!


It was nice to see Shasta, I secretly wish I could have put her in my pocket and taken her with us. Saturday was spent getting some sleep, finally seeing the firehouse, giving Shasta a bath, showing John the new camera baby and repacking.
