A short time after I posted about my upcoming trip awhile back I made a decision that I have been seriously considering for quite sometime: Travel sans – auto.

Instead of a slow drive across America, it will be a slow train across America. I have taken Amtrak about a dozen times, usually the Vermonter from Philly to Mountpelier. This time I will be going west, north, east and south. The intention is the same: visit people, places, and communities. And as I do, pray and meditate when and wherever I am. Suggestions, thoughts, and feelings are always welcome.🙏

There is no single “Tri-State Area” in the United States; the term refers to numerous regional, metropolitan, or geographical areas where three states meet. There are at least 24 distinct, commonly referenced regional tri-state areas.
Commonly Cited Tri-State Areas:
New York Metropolitan Area: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut (NY/NJ/CT).
Philadelphia Area: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware (PA/NJ/DE).
Cincinnati Area: Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana (OH/KY/IN), though sometimes WV.
Chicago Area: Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin or sometimes IA/IL/WI.
Delmarva Peninsula: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia (DE/MD/VA).
Memphis Area: Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas (TN/MS/AR).
Spokane Area: Washington, Idaho, Montana (WA/ID/MT).
Boston Area: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire (MA/RI/NH).
