Very good. Thank you!

Do you mean the systems are down? I was hoping to give them a whirl. Oh well! I'll get my tix at the counter then do some sightseeing! Thank you AlanB!

I have a question about the Quik-Trak kiosk at Penn station. I booked a two separate reservations for NYP-ORL on the silver meteor with two "Kids Ride Free" coupons (basically, 1 adult and 1 free child doubled to accommodate a family of 4). Calling the 1-800#, I couldn't use Julie, so I...

I paid a total (taxes & fees included) of $158/week… The main reason I choose AAA w/ Hertz, was the free booster seat (they charge an arm and a leg for that) and the convenience of the car waiting for me a the station.

I have rented from ORL Hertz last february…it was very convenient and the staff was friendly. I used AAA and got a huge discount, plus free use of a booster seat and free 2 car upgrade. We ended up with a brand-new (only 20 miles on the odometer) Honda Civic. I was so pleased to have my bags...

Sorry Battalion51. You came up with the FTL station to FLL first…didn't mean to forget about you. Forgive me :)

Update #2: Once again, awesome ideas from everyone… I booked a car rental (priceline bid) at FLL Airport at an awesome price. Way better then Hertz could ever give me, plus it was upgraded 2 classes!! Now I'm just looking for the cheapest and most practical way to get to the car rental place...

Here's an update on my situation: I decided to arrive at the Hollywood station because it seemed to be in a more pleasant area. Miami was very questionable but now I regret changing my mind (I'll explain below). I reserved a car rental with Amtrak Hollywood Hertz and called to ask about...

That's a great idea...I'll call Amtrak soon. I'll keep everyone posted! @Bill631: That would explain why AAA charges about $50...it's for each ticket As to my "I don't fly" issue. Long story short, 1. My ears never (I mean never) pop and 2. crippling fear of flying For my ears: tried...

Planning a trip NYP-HOL, Silver Service for Feb with a coupon from "Thomas the Tank: Merry Winter Wish" DVD. It allows one child to ride free round trip with an adult fare. Problem I had last year, I had to go to Penn Station to surrender the coupon. Wasn't convenient coming from Eastern...

Thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions. I'm gonna go ahead and make some calls at Hertz to get more info.

I'm planning our 2nd trip NYP-MIA Silver Meteor...problem: I don't see any car rentals nearby (like the one at ORL). What would be the best way to secure a car rental?? Is it easier at MIA or FTL?? I have a preference for Hertz b/c of my AAA discount, but I'm also willing to try another is its...

Hahaha...making fun of the newbie!! I wasn't sure if tipping was allowed, so I asked. :) Thanks for the great info ppl! This discussion board has helped me soooo much!! It's almost time for me to leave LI for NYP...I'm soooooo excited!!

One last question, I promise. What is the proper procedure or amount to tip the "red cap" that helps with your luggage and helps your family board the train?? Happy Travels!! :)

Sound like you are asking for some compasion or understanding. My child has a minor disability and at times becomes ill-behaved. I believe I am a good parent and a good citizen and would apologize to all passengers if some slight issue should arise. Most people have compassion and...

I have a similar situation. My train leaves on sunday from NYP to ORL. So far, I'm doing the same as you, waiting. My plan B is probably the next day, if it's not overbooked. The Meteor has not ran full service for more than 4 days now (Amtrak announced tonight the (97/98 train is only going...
