I'm doing 36 things
Just took the California Zephyr from Emeryville, CA to Chicago. It was great to look out the window and watch the world go by. I think I’ve finally got the hang of train travel this time.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: By going to the Brick Lane Curry House in New York, ordering the phaal, and then eating it. Also by eating lots of rice and drinking mango lassis while eating the phaal. Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: Bought a ticket and rode the train from Emeryville, CA to Chicago. The Emeryville Station is outside of San Fran so you'll need to either take a bus from San Fran station or stay somewhere near Emeryville and get a taxi. We drove the Pacific Coast Highway from LA and was able to pick up the car in LAX and return the car to Emeryville (it was Hertz). Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: My first trip to Stanley Park was almost 15 years ago when I was visiting Vancouver with my parents. I had brought rollerblades with me but didn't bring them to the park so on my first visited, I just walked around on foot, the whole time longing to be skating. Well just yesterday, on a beautiful day in July, I finally got my wish and make a complete tour of the park on rollerblades :) Read how I did it…

I just took a look at my school schedule and the Games will be right at the start of my second semester. Looks like I won’t be able to go :(
Got to see the opening ceremonies and some of the events. Had a fantastic time. It was well worth the plane ticket!
