Train in vain
Train 1 took me from Helen's Bay to Belfast (where I got the bus to the airport, then flew 7 hours to Newark). Train 2 took me from Newark airport to Newark train station. Train 3 got me to Trenton. Train 4 got me to Philly. Train 5 got me to Paoli, where friends collected me and took me out to dinner.
Crawfordsburn to Paoli took about 16 hours. Most of my connections were tight, so I can't complain.
Usually I try to sleep on the plane but today I used David's playbook. I watched three movies and three TV shows. They really help the time go by quickly.
