More cold weather and making travel plans

Greenbrier, Arkansas 

Weather Max 9 Min 2

The weather has been cold and wet and foggy but today we ventured out to Walmart in Clinton, Arkansas. I love Walmart and you can easily lose many hours just wandering around.

Spooky!

Early morning frost

It snowed in Omaha after I left and it's coming down heavy in Iowa but I know I'll get to see it in Chicago later this month. It's going to be a White Christmas for me :)

We are in for a few cold nights as per the weather forecast below  but with the furnace and the wood fire we'll stay warm.

Brrrr

This afternoon I spent hours on the internet and I've booked hotels and trains for  my ongoing travel.

My itinerary so far is

• 13 th Dec Little Rock, Arkansas to Fort Worth, Texas
• 17 th Dec Forth Worth Texas to San Antonio Texas
• 21 st Dec San Antonio, Texas to Chicago, Illinois

All travel is by Amtrak trains. The trip to Chicago is 33 hours so lots of Podcasts will be listened to and lots of reading done. I do like the trains and if time is not an issue it's a great way to go. You can get up and walk around and sit in the observation car. The food isn't too bad and the whole trip is very inexpensive.  It's nice to see the scenery - last time I drove everywhere and was too busy watching the road and staying on the "right" side of the road to enjoy the view. The seats are comfortable and its very easy to sleep in them. Sleeping cars are waaaay too expensive.

I'm looking forward to seeing The Alamo and doing the River Walk in San Antonio. Hopefully the heavy rain will have eased by then.
