The Day of Ripley #1

04/20/2024 Ahmar Wolf

Today i went to the Ripley Oddatorium in Hollywood, CA.

The adventure to meet up with yet another relative started with this

Turns out they live some distace away?, and a bus ride was called for.

Took a bit to meet up and parking. Literally more crazy than Chicago

We went inside. Oh my

That will have to wait to tomorrow.

After some 42 hours of traveling , across 3 different times zone. The train being stopped some 5 times, including a servicing and a suicide. I finally made it to LA. Met up with my cousins to where i am at now. Even went to the Oscars Museum.

On top of that i have a form of jet lag. Been hit upon by white trash. Whose sob story is so complicated i am amazed they could keep it straight. And someone who wanted the bible taught in school. Some journey folks.

So waz it worth it. Ask me again when i get home.

The one thing i can mention the Dining Car meals. Had 1 Beyond Burger… i think I’ll have it again on my return trip. The other selections are a bit overpriced in my opinion

Turns out Albuquerque has such a unique Amtrak station it shares with both Greyhound and the local commuter train. The station even has baggage service.

As for a update we are 2 hours late with A potential of being 3 hours late. Since they are servicing the train currently.

Spoke to my cousins all is set no matter my arrival time which is currently WTF happens

The train journey has been okay so far. The crew is nice and they improved what they have at the Cafe.

We stopped about 4 times so far lights, and barges.

My seat mate i could do a post about but won’t.. it’s rare to get someone your okay with.

Found out dinner in the Dining car is $47 no matter what your order. Hope things are better for Breakfast and Lunch.

On The Road with Ahmar Wolf

Today is finally the day I start my 43 hour trip to LA. That is essentially 2 nights on the same train. At journeys end I am going to meet my cousins. All the while keeping them and those who are close to me, a clue what is happening, this is going to be tricky. For those who never taken a long haul journey on a train. It means there will be hours where I will have zero service on my cellphone. I brought books, movies and games to keep myself busy.

I kind of know what to expect, due to a journey to Washington DC a few years ago. The Dining Car will be a new experience.

In addition I put my Host app on my phone. What I will be posting and when is still a good question. So there will be times you check and nothing new. I have to wait to I get a signal. Saturday I hope I can use my laptop to give you a better idea what is going on… but we have to see.

All I can say what happens, I will be reporting. I know I leave a lot of questions. They are the same ones I am asking myself over and over again.

But please keep in mind this is the very 1st time we ever met, and I will admit I am nervous because of this.
