This is along the City of New Orleans route BTW.

Actually, Dyersburg (Newbern) TN which is NW of Nashville might be closer than going to Memphis or Birmingham. Very nice small station with several long term parking spaces. My sister has travelled from that station a couple of times.

How ironic -- a bunch of ex-Navy RM's on this thread -- thought I'd pipe in. US Navy 1981 to 1991 .. RM2. Duty stations Orlando, San Diego (A-School), Bremerton WA, Guam, Ft Gordon GA (C-School), Australia, Stockton CA and DONE. :)

Good luck on tackling this issue! I am sure there are many in this same boat! F-I-L not "confused" enough to be deemed legally incompentent but can cause real problems if they get behind the wheel! Or travel because they could get confused and cause huge inconvience to others. Doc's have told my...

Just wanted to let everyone know I was able to snag the last "bucket" ticket going northbound!! Yea!! Had to call and make reservations because the on-line ticket purchasing on website kept giving me the regular price. I noticed the price drop on AmSnag this morning and verified it with "Julie"...

Yes .. it is a crap shoot. Looks like I can get the low bucket on the way back which offsets the higher cost going north somewhat. Also going to have to book the "jog" from Williamsburg VA back to WAS Union Station seperately to get the 14 day advanced purchase discount on the NEC. Has anyone...

Does coach seats ever run sell out?? I have never seen it personally.

Thanks!!! I will keep checking today and tomorrow. I was not in the position to book yesterday. Might have to just bite the bullet and pay the higher fare. *sigh* :(
