I was flat broke after a few months in New York. I’d quit that dull law job and expired my savings to relocate. Traded it for a love affair with the Big City. It was a romance so pure, so consuming, I took up board in a convent and squeaked by on $800/month.
Anyway.
Newly lonely and with family in D.C. I became a frequent customer of Bolt Bus and Vamoose. Prided myself on frugality. One expedition suffered a debilitating flat; another was stranded 8 hours on the turnpike. But at $50 round-trip, who could beat it? Four years later, I’m not quite rich, but suckaaahs! I graduated to Amtrak. On this one-way rail cruise to my cousin’s wedding in Baltimore, I’m livin large! First stop: Newark.
