Friday

I checked out the train to Memphis, which would be cheaper than driving. The question is whether I could use long-term parking at the station in Champaign. The train leaves Champaign at 10:30 PM and gets in at 6:30 AM, which would be rough. And I probably couldn't get a hotel room until the afternoon. If I want to spend $220, I could get a roomette. Ugh, the return trip is about the same. Maybe I could get a cheap hotel room in Champaign afterward. However, if I took the bus places in Memphis, it would take an hour, so I probably would have to use Uber or Lyft.

I bought Change Your Mind, Change Your Body for the Kindle. I hope that it helps me deal with my craving for sweets.

Quiet day. I'm trying to figure out what to do now. Maybe work in Canva on my printables. I got a few templates to see how they were constructed. I also need to study German and declutter. After a nap:)

Well, I napped and slept through until morning.

Oooh, a train ride would be fun! Is the overnight train your only option? Maybe it would be comfy enough to sleep in one of their recliner seats and you could forego the roomette?

Yeah, the overnight is my only option. I could bring a travel pillow and blanket and Seattle in coach, I guess. I found an Airbnb downtown. I wonder if I could store my luggage there.

You could probably store your luggage in a locker at the train station. The only issue is you'd have to go back to the station to pick it up when you're ready to check in at your airbnb. Or maybe, as you say, the airbnb might let you drop a bag off.

The train station says that they'll store checked luggage. I need to call them and see if they would store my luggage after I get there.

A train ride can be quite fun, though it's been years since I've been on one.

Let us know how the book is!
