I couldn't resist doing a post at 150 mph on the Acela Express from Boston to New York City.  The train station was, well, a US train station.  Dark, stuffy and minimal services except for the two Dunkin' Donuts within 150 feet of each other.  But the train arrived and departed on time and we are on our way having just entered Rhode Island.  The boys are impressed that you are allowed to get up and walk around whenever you want.  By Friday they will get to tick off 8 and 9 new states on their way to trying to get to all 50 states faster than I did.
