Last time I plied this journey, I took the Silver Star to Cary then the Peidmont from Cary to Kannapolis. That was my intent this weekend. It's an AGR trip, so that is how I made my reservation. I had to actually change my res 4 times, which drives me crazy but AGR was top notch every single time.
The Star leaves SAV at 1:30 AM. I told the agent Saturday morning and she said OK, Friday night. Sure enough, my rez was for FRI AM. No prob. The fixed it and sent a new email. Then what I was waiting for came in the mail Thursday, so I decided to take the Palmetto instead. This journey is a few minutes faster, but more time on the train. Decided that since it offered BC for the whole route to up my ticket to BC. Only, Wilson to Kannapolis was sold out. Took bc to Wilson, coach to Kannapolis. This morning at 5:15 I looked at Amrrak.com and bc was available the whole way. Got my 4th confirmation and now, I hope, I'm ready to travel! On my way to the Awful Waffle!
