A 12,400-MILE ROAD TRIP

From the Rig ...er, Left-Side:

Hey, hey. While Right-Side is away, LS will play.

This news item got my attention today:

Russia is considering plans for a 12,400-mile superhighway from London to Alaska

Wow -- talk about a road trip!

The article in Business Insider describes it:

"The proposal, outlined in the Siberian Times, would see the road follow a similar route to the Trans-Siberian railway, through cities including Yekaterinburg, Irkutsk and Vladivostok. A new high-speed train line would also be constructed, along with pipelines for gas and oil."

Since Right-Side and I are avid train travelers (we once took an almost-9,000-mile journey aboard Amtrak), how amazing would it be to go from London to Alaska on a train?

And since it's Russia, I bet you could order some amazing vodka cocktails along the way. Put us on the waiting list! While we're waiting, here's a video about the journey:



Gotta dash before LS gets back ...
