NYC (and going to Boston by train)

We arrived at EWR airport in New Jersey. For flying tips see the main page. Getting a cab from EWR into NYC is not going to happen unless you have booked ahead, but with unreliable flights that is not a great option. You have two other options to get into the city: train in orContinue reading “NYC (and going to Boston by train)”

Our trip: SF>Barstow>Grand Canyon>Bryce Canyon>Moab/Arches>Santa Fe>Petroglyphs/Gallup (route 66)>Petrified Forest/Needles (route 66)>Joshua Tree/Techapi>SF This time on our way back we took a 30 min detour to take the 5 instead of taking 99, though it was the most direct route.
