Lies & Betrayals

Last Saturday I made a pretty firm commitment to surprise the city of Boston this weekend. I might have been drinking at the time, and have my 4th mustard-colored outfit of the day on, but I was adamant it was going to happen. And on the train too! 

Things that I knew, and was OK with: 

⒈ Amtrak does not come to Madison.

⒉ Amtrak takes 24 hrs. to get from Milwaukee to Boston.

⒊ Amtrak cost $40 more roundtrip than a direct flight.

What I assumed:

⇒ Amtrak has wireless interent.

What I learned Sunday morning:

☞ Amtrak offers wireless internet on 2 routes—the Downeaster from Portland, ME to North Station in Boston and, just recently, the Acela.

☞ Assumptions make an ass out of you and Amtrak.

Later Jesse.
