Reality Tour 2: Historic Trains of California

In the airWelcome to Traveling Well’s second Reality Tour. This post comes to you almost live from 34,000 feet. I am drafting this just as our Airbus A320 has reached its cruising altitude. Sitting next to me is Chad Litchfield, a graphic designer at Collette. Together we are riding the Historic Trains of California tour.

Chad and I (through text, images and video) will bring you our impressions of what a Collette tour is all about. At this point I am looking forward to seeing San Francisco again. And this will be my first time visiting Yosemite National Park. And what boy doesn’t grow up fascinated by trains?

airport at dawnI got to the airport at dawn, not wanting to miss a flight on my first trip out of the office. I breezed through the self check-in and was on the receiving end of a full body scan. I always try to be super polite to the security, pilots, stewards and stewardesses. After all, we are all in it together.

Now it’s time to kick back with a book and listen to my iPod. Chad’s working out how to use the new HD camera Collette loaned us. Below America seems so quiet, timeless as the huge continent unfolds to the hum of jet engines.

Onwards and upwards.
