Off we go...

We haven't even left Connecticut yet and there has been a bit of a setback.  It seems the trackwork that was supposed to be finished this past week on the line between Boston and Albany is not complete.  This means a bustitute* to Albany.  That's annoying.  It's about a 3 hour drive, so it looks like we'll have a lot of free time in Albany waiting for the NY portion of the train to show up.  At least it isn't one of the more visually stunning parts of the trip.  Let's hope that's it for changes...

In other sort-of-related news, the timing of this trip couldn't be better.  The idiots who recently moved in above me are crazy noisy and tonight are giving the abusive couple from a few years ago a run for their money.  It sounds like some sort of drunken orgy going on or something.  Counting down the days until no more upstairs neighbors at all.

Of course, that is the only reason the timing of this trip is good.  In virtually every other category, this time is less than ideal.  Trying to buy a house (and deal with a less than helpful bank) and get ready for a new school year while traipsing around the country certainly makes things more interesting...  Ah well, all will work out in the end, one way or another.
