I’m all packed up with an hour to kill. All I need to do is grab my phone, water bottle and bags and head towards my bus. The double-deckered red-eye from Washington, D.C. to Charlotte. With wifi.
So I was thinking — how have I gotten to GA? Goodness, it’s been a while since I’ve been. Curious how it’s changed.
- 2003: Boston, Mass. train
- 2002: Quebec City. two buses
- 2001:Â Cleveland, Ohio. flight
- 2000:Â Nashville, Tenn. flight
- 1998:Â Rochester, N.Y., flight
- 1995:Â Spokane, Wash. a very long and fun road trip, which I remember better than the GA
- 1994:Â Fort Worth, Texas. lived there, seminary. so city bus.
- 1993:Â Charlotte, N.C.. car pool
For me…
2005: Saint Louis, MO. car pool
2003: Boston, Mass. flight
2001: Cleveland, Ohio. car pool
1999: Salt Lake City, UT. flight
It is somewhat shocking to me that I have not been to GA since 2005. But in the years after 2005, work schedules and finances have precluded attending. I once held the ideal that I should go every other year. I miss it mostly for the people I don’t get to see because I stayed home.
2003 Boston, MA Car to Medford, then the “T”
2002 Quebec City, QC Car (Same road as Benedict Arnold)
1995 Spokane Plane
I’m with Derek. I miss the people (sigh).
This year I drove, but last year I took a VERY long bus ride and don’t want to do that again. As it stands I don’t think I’ll be able to make Arizona. Too expensive.
The “prize” this year goes to a minister who was on the bus with me last night. And had to connect to two other long-distance buses before getting home. I hope she’s since arrived.
