What exactly do you do to pass time while riding on a train for anywhere between 18 and 35 hours at a time?

Here’s my top 10 in no particular order:

10. Journal/write/edit photos

9. Check out the dinning car

8. Play cards

7. Sleep

6. Read up on the next destination

5. Try to communicate with cabin-mates

4. Drink (inevitable when partaking in #5)

3. Read

2. Write postcards

1. Rock out with the iPod
