This is really sad about the CONO train and I feel everyone's pain as my trip scheduled to leave on April 28th was also cancelled. I had this travel booked since January 2 and I was called the day before we were suppose to leave. Anyway, we ended up driving and it wasn't so bad as we took two...

Well that's right! We still have the beach! Thanks Shanghai.

Thanks jb64 and Traneman for the nice responses. We are looking at the driving as another adventure. I can't imagine the nightmare that Amtrak is going through with these cancellations. jb64 - I am very excited about staying in Gulfport. The cottage we rented is beautiful and less than a block...

Hello all, Unfortunately we aren't going to be taking our first trip on Amtrak this year, and I am so bummed. :( We will still be going on our vacation to the gulf states but we will be driving instead. We have a beautiful cottage rented in Gulfport, MS and many plans to visit New Orleans so...

Guest Tim - Have you had any other news???

SO if the train is cancelled what do they do? Would they bus or fly us to Memphis? I have a cottage rented for a week that I've already paid for so my travel time is not real flexible. :help:

Ohhh no! We are scheduled to leave on April 28th from Chicago to New Orleans. I've had this trip booked since January - this can't be happening! Tell me it isn't so!! :(

We will have the car there for 10 days. 1 Sundays 2 Saturdays. Looks like it would be $67. Is it a safe garage to leave the car?

Wondering if anyone can advise me on long term parking at the Kalamazoo, MI station. We live about 1 1/2 hours from the station and are considering having daughter drop us off unless the long term parking is convenient and not too costly. Thanks, Marilee

This is why I love this site! Thanks jimhudson for the head's up. I will ask the car rental place for their suggestions when we get the car. And thanks to had8ley - the all day pass is a grrrr8 idea! (just had to use the 8 back at ya) Marilee

We are traveling from New Orleans to Gulfport, MS where we have rented a cottage, so we need a car. We are planning to visit NO a few times during the week, so then we plan to just park the car and use public transportation. I will call Hertz and others to see how they handle a late arrival (if...

Is car rental readily avalable at the NO station? We will be arriving on the CONO April 29 and I can't seem to find any information (online) for car rental companies at the station. Perhaps I'm not searching on the correct site? Thanks for any advice. Marilee

And thanks for the welcome! :rolleyes:

We are planning to rent a car in New Orleans for the week. :)

Hello and Greetings from Michigan, My husband and I try to take a vacation each year to a new destination. We wanted to go south this spring and just didn't want the hassle of air flight or the stress of driving, so I suggested AMTRAK. The more I read on this site the more I knew this would be...
