Hey everyone!!
It's Jen here

As I type this, I am coming to the end of the 3rd day of my 30 days cross-NA adventure (by rail) here at Fisherman's Wharf in sunny San Francisco. I am here until tomorrow morning when I will be hopping aboard the Amtrak Coast Starlight down the coast to Los Angeles & then onto Vegas first thing the next morning. Beyond that, my itinerary for the next 26 days (ending May 31st) is totally up in the air!! ...
My plans are to make my way eastward, stopping in Chicago, Ann Arbor, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Rochester, Boston, DC, NYC, Atlanta, New Orleans, San Antonio, Austin, Grand Canyon, Miami, Philly ... and points in between & not in this order!! Dates and times still TBD.
This is my first time ever backpacking - it's my present to myself for finally (FINALLY!) meeting my graduation requirements for my bachelors degree after a long, long haul at college & university (many of you know what I am talking about!)

Anyway, I am wondering, actually hoping, that you, my wonderful AGD sisters, will have some travel advice for me ... where should I be sure to try to visit? how should I best document this journey of mine? is anyone up to meeting up at some point? I am SOO looking forward to finally meeting Leslie & Tonya (I AM indeed coming thru Rochester!)
Please excuse my rambling, I just wanted to share my excitement with you all & ask for your help & input.
Thanks for reading & I'll look forward to reading your replies
LiEP,
Jen
