Planes, Trains, and Automobiles


My roommate and I recently took a trip to San Diego and of course, Morey came along as well.  I sometimes take for granted how easy Morey is to travel with and how he takes pretty much everything in stride. Our trip consisted of travel by various modes of transportation and Morey handled it all like a pro, including several less than desirable experiences that are sometimes unavoidable when you are traveling.

The trip started with a ride to the airport in a very cramped car. Morey is used to having the entire backseat of my car and he doesn’t really like to be cramped into a smaller space, but he settles in whatever space is available and makes do. Our flight was nothing special and then we took a Super Shuttle bus to our hotel (covering plans and automobiles).

We spent the afternoon at my roommate’s sister’s house. They had a small fenced in yard and Morey enjoyed exploring the San Diego smells. He guilted several of the guests into playing tennis ball for him and then finally settled down. Traveling makes Morey tired and after a whole afternoon of new people and places, he was exhausted by the evening.

Our hotel was right across from the Coaster train station that goes up and down the coast. Neither Morey nor I had ever been on the train so it was a new experience for both of us. It was actually a very easy experience to get on and off the train and the inside was set up like a city bus, so Morey settled into his place.


The accessibility platform that allowed us to get on the train

The train is coming!

The doors lined up exactly with the platform

The doors open...

And we're on the train!


Morey acted like he been riding trains his whole life. What an experienced traveler!
