What A Long Strange Trip It's Been

A great day!
Took Amtrak to NYC and it was WONDERFUL! Spent most of the time looking out the window and as we went further north, I saw more oranges/yellows/golds and reds on the trees. Lovely. And Amtrak kicks the airlines butts on this jaunt. They have plugs available for laptop computers, you can actually take on food and toothpaste, the seats are comfy with plenty of leg room and it was just 3 short hours from DC to NYC.
My hotel is right near Times Square and very convenient to everything. I have a teeny, tiny room but it's clean and looks safe so that's good.
Saw a wonderful panel tonight on "Islam and the West" with my heroine Ayaan Hirsi Ali and then on to more fun stuff with Jonathan Safran Foer and Edward P. Jones reading bits and pieces from their novels and short stories. It was at a great venue in Chelsea and I enjoyed walking around that part of the city...it's very DC like.
Now to bed...tomorrows a full day!
