Hi y'all
I'm planning my next long distance trip. I'm going to visit my son and his family near Seattle, and I will be traveling from the Austin, TX area sometime the first of July. I plan to take the Texas Eagle south, join up with the Sunset Ltd and go west to Los Angeles. I'll overnight in LA (would like to check out China Town), and take the Coast Starlight north the next day. I'll spend about a week or so in the Seattle area and would like to take the Cascades train to Vancouver BC for a one or two day trip. For my return, I will take the CS south to Sacramento, the California Zephyr east to Galesburg, IL, the SW Chief south to Kansas City, an 8303 bus ride to OK City, then south on the Heartland Flyer/Texas Eagle back home. I've only taken the Texas Eagle/Sunset Ltd train before, and I very much enjoyed that. Any tips or hints you might have to make this adventure more interesting?
