Jany: They’ve made some last-minute changes from the online version of the schedule. I’ll read them to you, and you can tell me if anything sounds interesting, okay?
. . . okay?
Oh, no. Come on, snap out of it . . .
Kara Lynn: . . .
. . . what of what? Oh — did it happen again?
I ‘m sorry, Master . . . I ‘m always afraid the next time will be the one when you disappear . . .
Jany: It’s okay, love. I’m right here.
And we’re going to get you help, all right? We’re in the best country in the English-speaking world for Being research.
Walker and Cohen have been doing this for years! They’re both in big American cities.
[Walker - CHICAGO]
[Cohen - BOSTON]
Now that we’re in America [BALTIMORE], all we have to do is take the train there after the con. We might even be able to hit both in the same day!

*Facepalm*
If american trains would have same speed as Chinas ones, why not? Actually, 300 km/h (185 mph) seems to be standard for high-speed rail and it would be enough for that. Hmmm … according to wiki, there is supposed to be some train by Amtrak between Baltimore and Boston, albeit slower. Nothing to Chicago, it seems …
Sure Amtrak has lines to all major American cities, but that’s only partially the issue. There’s a saying, “In America, 100 years is a long time, in Britain, 100 miles is a long distance”. Jany doesn’t seem to appreciate just how large the nation is just yet.
Oh bless her heart. Assuming we have decent public transportation. Poor dear.
Baltimore to Chicago – $94
Baltimore to Boston – $68
If you aren’t trying to travel over Thanksgiving (Busiest travel day in the US)
Both take about a day – depending on the route.
