Hello, I am nanavc. I am thrilled to have found this place. I have flown before; and decided I am NOT a bird. About 2003 Amy best friend from H.S invited me to take a weekend trip to Chicago from MI. We took the Amtrak.I was hooked. every chance I get I take a trip by train. I now live in FL. and have with my grandchildren discovered MD, DC, NY,& PA . Next Year I want to go to WA. I've been a little nervous about planning such a long trip, but since I have found all of you and your wealth of knowledge, I am going for it. Thank you for advice you've given so far and thank you in advance for advice yet to come....All Aboard....here's to Riding the rails....
