He joked with me about the Crocodile Dundee movie. The trip by train to Washington is nice. I’ve also caught the train up to Boston then driven around Maine up as far as Bar Harbour. Dang nice seafood up there.
Hello Ian

Things are a bit different the past couple years. There is a lot of track maintenance and improvements and some are posted some are not. The LIRR is still very good, the subway can be hit or miss. You have to be on your toes especially late night after 10 pm heading home. You come in go to the show and return to go home and the subway station is closed as an example. They usually post these closures but sometimes not. They always have a work around but when you are trying to get back to Penn Station to hit your train more often than not you miss it and are on the next one from the delays.

That can be an issue going to work the next day walking in the door at 1AM!
