Single What? Female...

Well, it's set with Amtrak...

So it should be set with me, but of course, it still subject to change while on the road, but so far, this is the best schedule yet.

I gave up on the "long haul" route as, the more I have read, the more sketchy it can be. At least the route I have chosen heading back east from LA is along a daily train and still hits important stops along the way. This is what I've got thus far, if you have a couch along the way, feel free to let me know! I am listed at CouchSurfing.com and have even been VOUCHED for (thank you thank you thank you Rachel).

In the meantime, as I was in MA this past weekend (HAPPY 73 Mom!) and sans a computer with a web cam, the video has been delayed yet again, but HOPEFULLY that sucker...you know, I'm going to shut up about it as I seem to jinx its progress when I talk about it :p

I am also preparing for packing. I know this much: I need to pack a neck pillow, baby wipes, and perhaps a case of Luna bars...a bar of laundry soap, and something to keep me from eating every fried thing I can get my hands on as I travel through the South. Suggestions from any long distance travelers?

Peace and thank you for your support,all:)
