Finding peace on a 72-hour train across America

A writer rides the rails from New York to San Francisco, discovering dazzling landscapes and fascinating fellow passengers along the way.

My fantasy has always been to take the train from Sydney to Perth - 6 days of near total isolation. Laptop, 6 or so novels I've been dying to read, just unplug from everything and stare out the window, get off for some chips and beer when the train stops at nondescript outback stations.

The aussies think I'm nutz.

Trans-Siberian Express

There is a movie starring Woody Harrelson of a trip on the Trans-Siberian Express. Some of the dialogue is so bad the crowd roars at it.

I did activities like that when I was younger. Train trips. Bus trips. Road trips. Too many trips on planes to count or remember.

I, at [almost] 55 year old, have been a nomad since I was 2.

Enough!
