Got to see an area of the US that I had never seen before.Christopherhttp://crjon.esnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-86929377338422353182011-12-31T20:02:44.896-05:002011-12-31T20:02:44.896-05:00Honestly, I have no answers for you as I do not kn...Honestly, I have no answers for you as I do not know you outside of this blog. I would love a passenger train ride cross country. Exploring new places on stops, getting to take a trip with b/f.

Since you're still unsure about traveling, start small, take a vacation on the other side of town for the weekend and see things that are the same, but from a different perspective.<br /><br />Or, be bold, brave, and take the jump out west! :-)Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861349933611308070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-51389143785339772722011-12-26T19:13:07.946-05:002011-12-26T19:13:07.946-05:00>>> very best gift you can give any autis...>>> very best gift you can give any autistic person, especially a child, is an experience. <<<<br /><br />Good to know...we travelled by train cross country, visited aging grandma's and met my son's birthmother and family. But somehow, there was no stress. It was unlike any christmas I've ever known. My son had planned on it since he was 5 years old.<br /><br />We are so blessed by this kiddo.<br /><br />And, well, uhm...train trips are nice. Totally unlike any previous travel experience. It is one way to see America, the good, the bad, and the ugly.(We went through industrial areas, blighted areas with boarded windows, pastoral scenes; I still see traces when I think of it.)<br /><br />It was kind of expensive...but restful.Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-61538500519284885702011-12-26T16:32:07.225-05:002011-12-26T16:32:07.225-05:00Merry Christmas, Matt!

I tend to be nervous about going to unfamiliar places, so treating myself to an adventure that is still in somewhat familiar territory is exciting and yet not so stressful...<br /><br />- HanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-54978669168108040582011-12-25T16:12:35.173-05:002011-12-25T16:12:35.173-05:00A LONG day-hike into the mountains or load up the ...A LONG day-hike into the mountains or load up the backpack for a couple days of hiking and discover a new fishing hole.Niko Gambelihttp://circlecsc.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-78590816793169962812011-12-25T13:01:04.614-05:002011-12-25T13:01:04.614-05:00We did a behind the scenes tour at the zoo.
