\nYou have to be familiar with the lyrics of a few songs to appreciate the origin of this list. I remember most of them. I particularly like the song “Stairway to Heaven.” In fact, I planted Jacob’s Ladder one year in the garden because it reminded me of these lines from an old folk song, which in turn reminded me of “Stairway To Heaven” –<\/p>\n

“We are climbing Jacob’s ladder\/ Stairway to the Lord.” Would that it were that easy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I also love the idea of taking a road to “nowhere.” There is something of the gypsy in me. I do like to wander down paths to see where they lead and I have always loved a road trip.<\/p>\n

I also like trains, however, I’m not sure that I would hop a midnight train to just anywhere. I did take one from Paris to the south of France a long time ago and I am going to repeat that trip in a week or
\ntwo. However, I will know where I am going.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThen again there are the trains that are bound for glory!! or the City of New Orleans and are they one in the same?<\/p>\n

\n<\/object><\/div>\n

\nThere is no mention on the list of planes. Now, I have always liked “leavin’ on a jet plane.” Nor is there a mention of bicycles, street cars, cables cars or shanks mare. I think that we need a few more songs out there for others who like to ride the rails, walk the paths and bike the byways.<\/p>\n

Please post lyrics I have missed and\/or modes of transportation.<\/p>\n

Have a great day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
