Since Tuesday here is Wednesday over there, Mr. Rheboi is now likely en route.

He previously noted, Mr. Colt, that he was using auto transport between from Albany to Indpls.

I'm still here (NZ that is) I leave next week!

Why Indiapolis?

Well since you asked....<g>

From the 17th to the 20th it's the Formula One GP weekend...

Thursday they will have an open day where I can get up close with the teams and cars.

Friday is F1 practise with support races.

Saturday is Qualifying with support races and Sunday is the Race!!

Plus I get a ride around the track in a GT3 Porsche (probably Thursday or Friday)!!!

When I arrive in Albany Saturday, I catch a Bus up to Plattsburgh and spend the night in a motel already booked by my fellow Formula One friends.

Sunday morning I head to the Montreal Formula One GP!!!

After that generally have a quick look around Montreal and head back to the Motel in Plattsburgh.

Monday we're into New York, New York, do the tourist things (Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Ground Zero).

Then we head to Washington DC and again partake in some tourist activity (White House, Abraham Lincoln Memorial to name a couple).

After all of that we then head into Indy arriving Wed night (hopefully) ready for the 2nd Formula One Race.

The monday following (21st) I catch a train (not sure what it is) to Chicago (leaves Indy 6am) and from Chicago I catch the SW Chief back to LA and board my plane back home with a very big adventure/story to keep in my memory!!

I just can't wait!!

I see in my original post I mis-spelt the fine city of Chicago!! Sorry!

Oh well, everybody has HICcups every now and again (sorry, couldn't resist that one!). Note that Indianapolis has a couple of extra letters in it too. That train from Indy will be the Cardinal - but you'll have missed the best bits! It's a single level Viewliner these days - it used to be Superliner until a couple of accidents elsewhere on the system rendered Amtrak short of them. However, you may see some odd cars attached to the end of the train as Indy is the home of a major Amtrak yard.

Have a good trip.

I arrive back home in NZ on Friday morning and start work the first Monday. I'll have the weekend to recover and regain my southern hemisphere clock.

My journey on the LSL departs Chicago on the 11th of June... I've got a standard sleeper... is that the LSL that you're on Boyishcolt?
