Trying to “Travel Green?” Take the Train

My trip back East for the week of February 13 has really taken shape; it’s packed with business meetings, book interviews, and dinners with college buddies and family, starting in Washington DC, and heading north: Baltimore, Philadelphia, northern New Jersey, New York City, Rhinebeck (gorgeous little town 90 miles north of Manhattan), Amherst, and Boston.

I make a concerted effort to “travel green.” Like most of us, I fly less, and conduct more business electronically. But I also try to replace automobiles with trains.  The Amtrak people will be happy to know that I think of their service as my rolling office. And a bonus awaits at both ends: Did you even notice how much more appealing train stations are than airports?

All aboard!
