On the Road

I am in Sanford, Fl. waiting to board the Amtrak auto train. I will have a cabin with a couch which will be made up into a bed tonight. I will have a small bathroom in my cabin. Tonight I will go the the dinning car for a nice dinner. The tables have white linens, nice china and glassware. There will be a flower on the table. I will  have a choice of three entrees. They are cooked in the kitchen car. Wine is served with dinner. I will enjoy watching the scenery as I dine. I go on the auto train once a year. I love sleeping on the train. It rocks me into a sweet sleep. Sometimes I wake in the night and look out my window. We pass through small southern towns with one stop light. I think of the people asleep in their homes. It is a typical night for them, but I am rolling through the night in my snug cabin on a train.
In the morning we will be in Virginia near Washington, DC. Before we get to the station, we pass Quantico. The fighter jets are awesome. After they unload my car at the station, I will drive to my farm in Ohio. I can make it in one day if I push it, but I often spend the night on the road. I'd like to drive through so I can sleep in my own bed on the farm, but I will take it as it comes.
