Of all the train trips I’ve taken, this is by far the first. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but it’s pretty nice so far (though we only just left the station). It’s pretty much like a plane only the seats are larger and much more comfortable. It’s also much quieter than most planes I’ve been on. There is supposed to be wi-fi but it’s not working right now so I’ll probably end up posting this later on.
I’m excited for the trip and can’t wait for the week ahead. It’s raining right now and it will probably be raining in D.C. when we get down there, but the rest of the week is supposed to be gorgeous spring weather. I know a few of the people that are on the trip and I’m looking forward to getting to know the others. It shouldn’t be hard since we’ll be living, working, and sight-seeing together all week!
What most interested me about the trip from the start was the opportunity to do something on Spring Break that meant something more than just a vacation. I was excited to hear that an “alternative” spring break trip was being arranged and I signed up even before the destination was decided. I did some work with Habitat in middle school and I’m really glad we ended up doing some work with them. On top of that, D.C. is someplace I’ve always wanted to visit and from what I hear it will be amazing!
I’m falling asleep now but I’ll keep posting throughout the week. I’m so grateful to everyone that donated money and effort to make this trip happen and I know that the needy families who need homes are so grateful as well.
