    EMY to San Francisco bus

    That's where I was dropped off on March 25th and I wrote it down for my return on April 12th and of course that's was the only address I lost. Thank you so much for posting the address because Amtrak doesn't list it anywhere. Now I have peace of mind again. Have a great day.

    Taxi? Uber? Lyft? Bus? from SEA station to hotel??

    While I'm not a country girl I don't do uber but when I'm traveling I will take taxis. I'll be in San Francisco this Saturday. The last time I was there we could be dropped off at Fisherman's Wharf. Now I know they drop us off at some plaza downtown. My question is - will there be taxis...

    Just got the same for my CZ trip from SF to Denver on Tuesday April 12th. Hope this is a mixup.

    current cancellation policy

    I need to cancel my CZ trip to San Francisco & it's definitely related to the virus because I was going to Hawaii on the Grand Princess. I have changed my cruise to October but I don't know if I should reschedule my CZ reservation or cancel. now and reschedule later. Prices seem to be around...

    Good place to stay by King street station Seattle ?

    I also stayed at the Best Western Pioneer Square. It is older but I was very comfortable and I really enjoyed walking around the historic areas. There's a great Mystery Book Store just up a couple of blocks from the hotel - and I do mean up - didn't know Seattle was on a hill till I got there...

    Boston problem

    Thank you Bob Dylan and everyone else. I revised my reservation and got a $16 credit! Greatcats - Blount Small Ship Adventure is a family owned business - their motto is " Go where the big ships cannot". This will be my 1st ever cruise and I'm really excited that we will be spending several...

    St. Louis Gateway Station Layover

    The Union Station is well worth the walk over. It is a beautiful building with a fountain in front. Had a family gathering there a few years ago and one of the main reasons we went was because I had a picture of my Mom in the 1940's standing in front.

    Boston problem

    1st thank you all for your suggestions. There were many good ideas for finding a place in Boston and I will keep them in mind. But I think I may have another answer to my problem. I found that there is a route Empire Service (which I didn't know about) that could take me from BUF to NYP where...

    Boston problem

    I could use some of this group's wisdom. I have my ticket for a sleeper on the LSL from BUF to BOS for a trip I'm taking in a couple of weeks. I was originally hoping I could stay in Boston for 2 days and use one of those days to do a day trip to POR before I went on to PVD for the rest of my...

    A few questions for a CZ trip

    My friend and I are going on the CZ from DEN to SFW early this week. It's been a stressful year and we are just looking forward to enjoying a train ride and visiting a city we've never seen. Since we couldn't make our reservations early we are in the transition car 0540 and I've read your...

    I have points questions also

    I'm planning a trip from Denver to San Francisco next month with a friend and it will be the 1st time I'll be using my points. I've tried to search how to do this but as others have mentioned - it's not very clear. My understanding is that there are no discounts given so you can only do it as...

    some questions on an eastern trip

    I'm attending my godson's wedding in Buffalo next month. Since a hometown girl, Kristin Chenoweth is doing a musical I decided to make a side trip to NYC before the wedding to see my 1st Broadway play! I'll be leaving KC on the SWC with a transfer to the CL, then getting off at PGH and taking...

    Another trip, more neurotic questions.

    I would also recommend getting a red cap. If there are more people than can be taken on one trip, they will come back, as long as you let them know you want to use them. I've not been bothered by noise from other roomettes. Have a great trip.

    What to do?

    The last time I was in D.C. we did the hop on hop off buses (since then have also done this in Seattle and NYC). It's a good way if you have limited time and they should know what's being blocked off for the holiday. You will get a good overview of the historic sites. I would get off at the...

    Tom's rail trips #6 - Missouri River Runner - trains #311/316

    Treated 31 members of my family to a ride on the Missouri River Runner from Kansas City to St. Louis this morning. I think they all had a great time. Several asked me about train travel and more than one said this was the way to travel! The crew was great but I forgot to check their names as I...

    Detroit, MI

    My sister, cousin, aunt and I were there 2 weeks ago. We drove to St. Anne's, 2 cemeteries (saw a fox at one) and the house where my mother was born in 1923. We had no problems and the neighbors were friendly even when 3 women jumped out of the car and started taking pictures! Even my sister...

    Two Danes on a US 15 day pass - where should we go?

    I think the 2nd route you listed would probably be the most variety in scenery. You would have the plains of Nebraska, the Rocky Mts., the Pacific Coast, the SW desert, New Orleans and the South. You would really see the USA. I took the EB last fall and we were 8 hours late. Have a great...

    more river runner questions

    I'm treating my family to the river runner from KC to STL in July. I was hoping to have around 15 going - I was thinking it would probably be mostly my great nieces and nephews but miracle of miracles all of my siblings, nieces/nephews +all the greats want to go - so there will be 35 of us -...

    City Of New Orleans - Bridges

    If you're going to be riding the CZ won't you be crossing the Mississippi River also?

    question about voucher

    Yes, I meant 23,000 and not 2300. I was using my tablet and not my laptop and I don't type as well on it. I thought about taking the Pennsylvanian but we would have to change trains so early and to me a big part of the enjoyment is relaxing. But I do want to ride that route someday. The...
