If God is willing, I will do another AGR redemption trip all in roomette in July. The itinerary is as follows:
Outbound trip
1-zone redemption:
LAX - PDX on CS, car 1431 room 4. Stay couple of nights in PDX for sightseeing
2-zone redemption:
PDX-CHI on EB, car 2830 room 8
CHI-NOL on CONO, car 5900 room 4
Inbound trip
2-zone redemption:
NOL-CHI on CONO, car 5800 room 4
CHI-PDX on EB, car 2730 room 9
PDX-LAX on CS, 1131 room 4
I know I will not know the car orientation until I board the train, but hoping my roomette will be on the "right" side.
I am looking forward to trying the cold boxed dinner out of PDX. Many people here in AU have mentioned that is the best amtrak meal. On my inbound trip, I will spend 95 hours and 45 minutes on the train with only 2 zone redemption, yay!!!, that is hard to beat. The cash price would be $3,164.00 that equals almost 16 cents per AGR point. Wohoooo!!!
Any tips or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thank you all,
David
