The One With Bacon

Location : Jacksonville, FL
Although the Roomette’s bed was comfy — likely the best mattress I’ll encounter for several months, I didn’t sleep much last night. Perhaps it was night-before-an-early-morning-flight nerves or too much coffee earlier in the day.
So, as I lay in the top bunk looking out the narrow, body length-long window, I watched the stars move left-to-right along the window … and eventually out of sight. Orion was the prominent visible constellation. Really hope it goes supernova in my lifetime. That’d be cool.
At some point, I dozed off and later awoke as we coasted into the Jacksonville, FL Amtrak station.
Not wanting to miss my complementary breakfast 🥞🍳🥓, I jumped spritely from the top bunk. My knees protested. They’ll want to discuss this egregious insult later. Oy.
Breakfast is served.

Huzzah, and so it begins!
This is about the time I ask myself, “What was I thinking?!“. 🤔
