George K
Conductor
As some of you might remember, I had a great time with Daughter #4 last month on a 10 day trip from Chicago, to Portland, to San Francisco and home. We rode three great trains, and we're both itching to do it again.
Upon my return,the management my wife became curious, and we're looking to taking a trip to New Orleans next spring, and D4 is looking for a trip to Washington DC next fall.
But, my wife made an interesting comment this afternoon (while we were talking about New Orleans): "You know, George, I'd be happy just to ride the train and watch the country go by."
With her orthopedic issues (don't ask!), we wouldn't consider a roomette (which was fine for me and D4), so a bedroom is in order. Plenty of space to stretch out, relax and watch things.
We live in the Chicago area, and I'm accumulating AGR points like crazy (already have enough for a bedroom round trip to NOL), and by next fall, will have enough for a trip to DC.
I live about a block away from a MetraRail station that takes me to Union Station in Chicago (a 22 minute ride).
So, here's the question: If you were just "going for a ride" - where would you go?
