I am on day 4 of a 14 day trip. I have intermittent internet, so I will post when I am can. I am using a tablet, so my typing is not that great.
On 11/30, I took the Silver Meteor from ORL to NYP. I had bedroom A, and even though the couch was backwards, it was a nice room. My SCA was Preston and he was great. The train was only about one third full, which was surprising.
Shanghai met me in NYP and helped me schlep my luggage to my hotel about a mile away. We later met AlanB for lunch and after lunch Alan was kind enough to escort me to Rockefeller Center so I could see the lit tree. Later, that afternoon, I hit a trifecta but meeting up with jis- at NYP for a drink. Even though he made fun of my 16 layers of clothing, we had a very nice time. Seeing 3 AU members in one day made my stay in NY very special.
On 12/2, very early in the morning, I made my way to NYP, by cab, to catch the Maple Leaf for Toronto. I was in BC and used a red cap so I could board early and get my choice of seats. I was on the left side in a single seat - and had a full window.
More later.
