I was off the trail for 6 days for a trip to Philadelphia. Luckily the train infrastructure in the northeast made it possible to go into New York City and over to Philadelphia relatively easily.
In Philly I met my partner and we toured the city by bike before going to a live show of the Well There's Your Problem podcast.
After a wonderful weekend I retraced my steps to Connecticut. Chris again gave me a ride, this time from the train station to the town of Kent, CT. Once there, I took an extra day off the trail to finish up some time sensitive personal admin.
This was a lot of time away from the trail. I felt like I was losing momentum, but I was happy to be able to do all the off trail stuff in one go. It would have been way more difficult breaking it all up between multiple stops.
