Due to fighting cancer and Lupus, it's been about 3 years since I got to take a trip on Amtrak and how I miss it.
I remember riding the Texas Chief down to Texas to see relatives when I was a child (late 50's now) and it was such a treat. Now I live in Texas and have taken numerous trips up to Michigan on Amtrak, one to California and several to Indiana. I LOVE Amtrak travel and have had some REAL interesting and even a bit...um, embarrassing experiences, but they have not taken away from my enjoyment.
Now that my health is much improved, if I can gather my finances together, I want to take a trip up to Holland, Grand Haven and Whitehall, MI this sumer, along with a stop in New Buffalo. All are areas that I have lived in and ohhhh, I miss those Lake Michigan breezes. Texas is TOO hot.
Anyway, great there is a site to discusss our love of Amtrak...long may it live!!!
