My 2 Grand Adventure - From New York to Chicago, the long way
http://my2grandadventure.blogspot.com/2004/11/super-tuesday.html
My 2 Grand Adventure. Tuesday, November 02, 2004. I had to catch the 9am train from Boston to head for Chicago. I was a little ominous about the trip after my past experiences. That and the fact the trip was scheduled to take around 21 hours! Yes, an entire day on a train! The train journey starts OK. It's a 4-hour trip to Albany then we change trains for the long haul to Chicago. When we change trains the conductor says turn left for coach passengers and right for sleeping berths. What! The rest of the ...

My 2 Grand Adventure. Saturday, November 06, 2004. After another night of drinking and blues, I decide on a quiet morning. As it's another clear, blue day in Chicago I ride the El up to a place called Oz Park, a Wizard of Oz (which was written here) themed community park in the Lincoln park area. Thus ends the Wizard of Oz theme to my trip. I have two and an ale and head back to the hostel. One day to go. Posted by Mark Slattery @ 5:26 pm. This Blog is to record my 3-week trip to America in Oct/Nov 2004.

My 2 Grand Adventure. Friday, November 05, 2004. We decide to go to a club called Kingston Mines. It's recommended in the guide books and by one of the guides from the Untouchables tour. It happens to be just across the street from the B.L.U.E.S. Bar we went to the other night. So me, Iain, Lonnie, Karen, an Australian girl called Neel and a Southern lad head out for the night. He has a radio mike on his guitar, so he can wander through the crowd an play right in front of your face. Cant think of a title.

My 2 Grand Adventure. Sunday, October 31, 2004. Despite the lack of sleep I head out and catch the morning train to Salem for the Halloween day festivities. The train is packed and when I get there the place is heaving! And some are absolutely fabulous (an angel with 6ft wing and a guy with a 8ft high gold dragon! I feel a little sad that I'm not part of the dressing up club but to be honest I would have been embarrassed next to some of these people. I spend a couple of hours wandering around, drinking s...

My 2 Grand Adventure. Friday, November 05, 2004. The sky is clear and blue today so after my morning trip to the library, I head uptown. At the top I bump into Ashley from that terrible train journey from Niagara to NY. Small world? Then it's time to head back to the hostel, to re-arrange the evenings plans.
