Planes, trains, and automobiles

By | November 5, 2010

Get this: next February I’m attending Cat Bordhi’s Visionary retreat in Friday Harbor, WA. Immediately afterward, I’m teaching at Stitches West in Santa Clara, CA. To maximize carpooling, minimize expense, and enhance the likelihood that I’ll actually be where I’m supposed to be when I’m supposed to be there, here’s the game plan:

  • 2/9
    • Get up at o’dark-thirty. Have DH (Da Hubster) drive me to the nearest Amtrak station.
    • Ride the train to Portland.
    • Meet up with other Visionaries, carpool to Anacortes.
    • Take the ferry to Friday Harbor.
  • 2/16
    • Take the ferry to Anacortes.
    • Carpool to SeaTac, get dropped off while the rest of the car continues to Madrona.
    • Fly to San Jose.
    • Take the free shuttle bus to the light rail, and take the light rail to the Santa Clara Convention Center.
  • 2/20
    • Take the light rail and free shuttle to the San Jose airport.
    • Fly to Portland.
    • Take a long-distance shuttle home.
    • Have DH pick me up at the shuttle stop.

So it’ll be planes, trains, automobiles… and some shuttles and a light rail. Sheesh. Everything but donkey cart.
