All Aboard!

On this episode we have a blast talking about train travel. We discuss why we decided to travel across country (well, most of the country) by train and how we made it happen. There might also be talk of the two greatest TV shows of all time, and an episode of I Love Lucy, because Lucy and Ethel…Mary and Melinda. Obviously. So, basically, all the important stuff. Enjoy the show!
