I finally made it home from #WWDC25

I ended up having ear problems after landing in San Jose and wasn’t able to fly back so…

I took a 54 hour train ride from San Jose back to Chicago 😅

I wish I could have been home sooner to see my fam but at least the views were stunning

@joshdholtz Stunning! But also did @mergesort start some kind of ear/train travel indie developer trend at Deep Dish? Are you two in the pocket of Big Train? 🧐

@Timschmitz @mergesort Everything is always Joe’s fault 😛 But also… Big Train is the best Big

@joshdholtz @Timschmitz Big Train, but also I couldn’t believe it when I heard it.

@kyle @mergesort @joshdholtz @Timschmitz the first thing I said when he told us was “isn’t that what Joe had??“

@MuseumShuffle @kyle @mergesort @joshdholtz I think there’s serious potential for a pre/post-conference party train 🥳

@joshdholtz @Timschmitz @kyle @mergesort @axxl Hopefully no infected eardrums required to take part.

@MuseumShuffle @joshdholtz @Timschmitz @kyle @mergesort I come around with a spray bottle during WWDC and squirt some bacteria in your ear. Gratis

@joshdholtz Thanks for sharing the photos. They look amazing but yeah definitely something better done voluntarily.

@joshdholtz amazing photos! 54 hours on a train is rough though, did you get bored?
Show threadJosh HoltzJun 15, 2025

@shaundon Zero bored! I didn’t have much internet but I could have just looked out the window for a week straight at all of the views

I don’t really get bored though 😛 I’d be happy staring at wall or just napping all day

@joshdholtz That’s the most scenic train ride in the US, at least until you get to Denver. Pretty flat after that.
