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...
From everything I have read about this incident .. it does seem that "sundowners" occured in this situation. My husband and I are primary care givers to my F-I-L and suffers with confusion at times (88 yo Father in-law). Laws as it pertains to the elderly is a big ol gray area! We recently had...
-- Just saw a price drop on one part of my trip. Do I have to call Amtrak to modify my reservation to get the price difference or can I do it on-line? THANKS!!
Have you tried booking it using the multi-city function? I booked the BHM to NOLA to CHI before -- but yet again, I had the 14 day rail pass at that time.
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...
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* :(
Thanks for the tip!! Just found something "strange" when I did a dummy reservation. I have a Veterans Advantage card, I can apply the discount to the LD part of the trip which is great. BUT if I apply the discount on the NE regional from Williamsburg VA to WAS I get changed $10 more verses just...
Thanks!! I check Amsnag daily since I began planning this trip a couple of weeks ago. Would love to get a roomette at the price that is listed but the days doesn't fit into our travel schedule. I've also read that if you check on a Thursday or Friday and that sometimes people will cancel and...
I know it is "standard" practice in travel to book "14 days" in advance. Is this generally the same with Amtrak price wise?? This Friday is the cut-off day for me for travel 1st week of June thus trying to save for $$. I currently pull up a $481 RT on coach for myself and son to DC from...
Nope -- the great Roomette price is not showing up via Amtrak.com . Now does AmSnag just display station to station prices or prices in various segments?
