Me and my friend go out for a nice breakfast at a restaurant near the Kingston Station called the Station House Restaurant, a perfectly good breakfast place. We then headed over to the Kingston Station–(71 Photos) nice and early a little before 10:00am so I can get my full photo essay. The first thing we notice […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
I have a good friend who weekends nearly every weekend at the beaches in Rhode Island. I’ve been trying to finish the Amtrak stations on the Northeast Corridor between Philly and Boston, with just Mystic and Kingston remaining (I got off at Kingston with this same friend but in the dark). Consulting the timetables, I […]
I have two excellent days of skiing at Whistler/Blackcomb and should have paid the $50 for a 50% off third day; the resort is so huge there just wasn’t time to explore all of it. To get to and from the ski area (the HI doesn’t have Ski In/Ski Out access or a free shuttle) […]
The reason for coming out to the Pacific Northwest is to use up my two already paid for days of skiing on my Mountain Collective Pass at Whistler/Backcomb. The largest ski area in North America! I considered booking a through Amtrak Throughway ticket to Whistler the fares seem to very a bit. I didn’t end […]
For my Saturday in Seattle I didn’t really ride any transit that’s website worthy, although I did take a Washington State Ferry. I spent the morning first going to the Seattle Science Center because its on my Transit Museum Membership (a member of the ASTC passport program). As an adult I wouldn’t have spent money […]
This post is part four of Spring Skiing Spring Break. I buy my Mariners ticket and walk back up to King Street Station–(8 Photos) and walk over the overpass to the Sounder island platform that is separate from the regular station. I board the second Tacoma-bound train (this becomes the second reverse peak direction train and […]
This post is part three of Spring Skiing Spring Break. Introduction: Tuesday night before my trip I’m visiting the Sound Transit website and notice an alert that through September (the website says they began on April first, but when I check later the website says starting April 9th) the region is piloting an ORCA Day Pass […]
This post is part two of Spring Skiing Spring Break. I sit and relax for 20 minutes eating the bagel I packed at home and forgot to eat on the subway. I eventually decide to get up and walk the new long pier that replaced the Pan Am Terminal that has been nearly demolished to […]
In Mid-April I went on a long Spring Break trip, I meant to write updates during my trip but getting grad school work got the better of me for writing during the trip. Introduction: Ever since I bought my Independence ski pass that I skied three of my six free areas on back in January […]
Flight Decision: When I looked at and booked my flight home about a month ago I had the option of flying a Delta non-stop to JFK or a United non-stop to Newark both at about the same convenient midday times for the same $150 one-way. My New York Airport preferences are LGA, followed by JFK, then […]
