Back to Central New York
On Wednesday morning I awoke with a real need to go to the bathroom so I took care of it quickly and got back to my seat and tried to get some more sleep. An hour later, it happened again. Never again will I eat a burger from a train, and now I didn’t feel so bad bringing my own food. We eventually made it to Syracuse and I got off. I went to claim my bag, and it made it back ok. That just amazed me, the fact that I checked in a bag from Syracuse to Dallas, and then back again, without it getting lost was truly amazing so I give Amtrak props for that. I was finally able to get to an ATM in the transportation center and had some Dunkin Doughnuts for breakfast and tried to buy a bus ticket so I’d have the ticket ready for going to and from work whenever I was set to work again. They didn’t sell the Centro bus tickets though, but the lady did break a 20 for me so I could pay the bus fare. I finally got on a bus an hour later, and made it home a little over an hour after that.
