Would you believe that too much leg room can be a bad thing on a long trip? Over all, taking the train is a relaxing way to travel, but there was so much leg room that it felt like I was falling out of my seat when I tried to asleep. I had to put down the leg and foot rests and pretend that I was on a plane in order to feel secure enough in my seat to sleep. It was easier to sleep on the return trip when we boarded the train at midnight after a long day.
We had a great time in Sacramento. We were lucky enough to stay with a dear friend who I hadn’t seen in seven years. He was a gracious host and took us to a few wonderful places to eat. Ginger mango chicken is completely superior to sweet and sour chicken in every way, and squash blossom with goat cheese makes a wonderful appetizer.
I also had the chance to meet with a few friends from my budgeting message boards. It was wonderful to finally meet these ladies in person and have faces and real names to put with screen names.
