I know that this is mostly up to nature but thought I would just feel some folks out who either live in the montana area or travel EB quite a bit in the spring. I'm trying to plan my now extended trip home to Mississippi from Montana and it's like dodging bullets with all of this flooding. :)...

I'm still on my trip here in Kalispell, Montana. It's been wonderful by the way! :o ) I am thinking about extending my trip for another couple of weeks so I will have more time with mom. So that means I have to decide if I want to pay the $200 penalty fee that the airline is going to charge me...

The second leg of the trip was from Chicago to Memphis via the City of New Orleans. I found that the sleeper car was about the same as the empire Builder. Though on this leg i was upstairs as opposed to downstairs on the empire builder. I think having been in both, I actually like being...

So I made the trip from montana and made it home safely! YAY!! I thought I would give my newbie perspective since this was my first trip. I caught the empire builder out of whitefish montana and took it all the way to chicago. I learned very quickly that a train can be late. LOL, it was six...

Howdy there everyone!! I am new to this forum but I am ever so glad that I found it. I've been reading through the posts and they have been extremely helpful. LOL, though I need to learn what all of the abbreviations stand for. That has had me confused. :blink: I am currently in Kalispell...
