I Always Thought There Would Be Tomorrows
Author: siggyI always thought there would be tomorrows but now I am not sure. My visits with my doctor made me realize this so I decided to plan the trip to San Francisco I have wanted to do since the late sixties.
I do not know what my fascination with San Francisco is but I have wanted to go there for forty years. I want to go in style: I will take a “sleeper” on Amtrak with my wife from Chicago to San Francisco next spring.
“The California Zephyr” goes across the United States: I have always loved trains and they are my favorite form of public transportation. I have almost six months to plan out this trip in next April.
I do not want to put off this trip any longer. Who knows what the time will bring? ‘Time is indeed a vapor’ in the words of King Solomon from the Old Testament.
