A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Or, in our case, it begins with Amtrak baggage clerks (crusty Boston guys with soft hearts) taking compassion on this mom and son team, sending us to the First Class lounge.   Sam is pleased with the free newspapers, soda and treats. I'm loving the free wifi (not sure I'll have that after this) and the fact that they will escort us over to board 15 minutes before every one else loads (you know, women and children first).

So far, so good.

Look at that ceiling! Amazing. Can't wait for the rest of the journey. And here's to crusty old Boston men with soft hearts!
