Hey,
I am planning a trip for the coming summer and I have narrowed it down to taking the Cap. Ltd. and SWC to Los Angeles and going down to San Diego and several Beaches along the surfline, or taking the Cap. Ltd. and the California Zephyr to San Francisco. I was pretty dead set on the SWC and LAX until my mom asked about the CZ. I hadn't really considered it. Anyways, now that this has been thrown into the mix, i was looking for some input.
I have ridden 3/4 before and spent a day in Los Angeles, but i have never been to San Diego or any of the West Coast Beaches.
I have never ridden 5/6 before, but have heard that there have been reliability issues in the past with the train. Also, I have never been to San Francisco. I like beaches, are there any in the area?
What would some of the Merits and drawbacks be of each of the itineraries?
Also, we would be returning home via Airplane...
Thanks,
Jon Parker
