Blogging From a Bus!

Wireless technology is an amazing thing. As I write this, I am sitting in a bus on the way to Logan Airport, and I'm Internet connected.

It sounds very fancy, but taking the bus was actually a cost saver. The round-trip fare is less than half the cost of parking for ten days in Boston, and about a quarter the cost of a round-trip limo fare. This is our first time using the service, and so far I'm impressed.

Traveling anywhere from where we live is a day-long commitment. It's about forty minutes to the bus, then two hours to Logan, a couple of hours to allow for security check points and boarding, and six hours of flying. We'll arrive close to midnight, nearly three a.m. according to our body clocks. And after that we have to drive about an hour from LAX to the valley to where we're staying.

But after a little recovery period, it will feel very good to be back in California.
