One More Night in DC

[pdxjim]

I was scheduled to take 29 from Washington DC to Chicago tomorrow, but got the dreaded robo call advising of cancellation while I was walking the Mall.

It took over an hour on phone with Guest Rewards, but they found me space on Nov. 1 on 29 in room H and then moved me from 7 to a roomette on 27 directly to Portland. I'll miss the diner for the breakfast prior to arrival in Portland and have to suffer with the worst breakfast Amtrak offers.

Oh well, at least I'll get home.

I have to thank the Amtrak Guest Rewards folks in Riverside, CA. They did their best and I greatly appreciate it.

Change of plans. 29 cancelled for Nov 1 as well. Guess they have to get 30 in from Chicago first.

I am being rerouted on 19 to New Orleans, overnight at my expense there, then 58 to Chicago and 27 to Portland.

I think four nights by train should be a lot of fun, since 19 and 58 are new routes to me.

Wondered about good places to eat.. will be staying near the Super Dome.

Many thanks!

Jim
