Not my complete trip, yet, but I noticed I was still at a pretty good spot where I covered the Gathering itself but could still make a part two happen for the rest of the trip. Better than nothing at this point, eh? ^_^ This covers Thursday, October 4th, through sort of early on Monday...

Started off well enough, if a bit early. Took 40x to Civic Center, bought the Amtrak tickets with a combination of a voucher (left over from my LAX to SAC exchange last year, and due to expire in about a week) and cash, and went to ALN for a few hours. 302 left on time, but due to track work...

This one started as a random idea that I had by 3 pm on 4/19, and had reservations made by 7:30 PM Central (after getting off at 5 PM and letting my mom attempt to talk me out of it, even though I knew she wasn't going to be able to). Where to this time? Back to ARB, because my friend was gonna...

With 'L', NYC subway, Acela, T, and (upon return by air to STL), MetroLink as bonuses. :giggle: March 6th, I got to Gateway Station to find that half of the main entrance was blocked off, along with most of the Amtrak-side waiting area. The benches were rearranged to still accommodate as...

Not that it'll affect my plans at all (it's just to confirm or deny my theory), but a question popped into my head earlier and it won't go away. Does Club Acela tend to have shorter hours of operation or is it basically "If the station's open, we're open"? I'm planning on taking 67 from NYP...

Aside from Denny's having wifi unexpectedly, and a slight issue with the cab to the Amtrak station that was totally my fault, things were uneventful in the overnight hours. Considering how much of that weird imported dancing game I'd played right before I went to Denny's, I couldn't even finish...

Started today more technically around 10 am yesterday. Cab picked me up at 12:15 am to get me to Union Station to make Megabus, and I ended up getting there about 15 minutes before the bus showed up. It was my first time riding this connection to Chicago after a failed attempt around this time...

As the signal allows, I'm getting online thanks to another semi-local, chertling, while listening to an employee that Alan's talking to and Anthony and several others are listening to. I can't contribute myself (no room for snarky commentary in this case), but it's interesting to hear. Makes...

For me, today started by waking up, being dressed, and packing the last stray items by 5:40 am to take the cab to the 7-Eleven at Lemay Ferry and Meramec Bottom. I got a Mtn Dew Livewire to use the rest of the money on a gift card I had, then walked a short distance and crossed the street to...

I tried Google and looking through the AGR site, but I couldn't find things so I thought I'd turn to the experts. Is it possible to have the standard AGR card replaced through the Internet? I seem to have lost mine, and I have a thing against talking on the phone if I can help it (in cases...

Even when I kinda fail at making plans for other stuff the rest of the year. Anyway, if you've been paying enough attention ( :P ) , you know my current plans for May 10th. After thinking about it for a few days I have convinced myself that getting a roomette wouldn't be a bad idea, if only...

And yet somehow in my currently limited Amtrak experience, I haven't taken a train from St. Louis yet. So far, Union Station in Chicago is my base of operations, as I've taken a Wolverine to Ann Arbor and an Illini from Champaign. Thankfully that's going to change on May 10th, since I'm going...
