Hello Jackal I didn't realize you're a fellow Alaskan (although I now live in WA state I will always consider myself an Alaskan). We got a bit of Kotzebue weather here (I'm 60 mi NE of SEA) just before the holidays - 97 mph sustained winds, 4 ft of snow w/drifts to 8 ft - to be honest I was...

Hello Everyone My brother & I went from SEA to Yum for the holidays - Coast Starlight then were supposed to do Texas Eagle LAUS to YUM - but Mother Nature decided to get in the way. We got to LA 22.5 hrs behind schedule - just about everything that could have gone wrong - did- tee hee. The...

AOL is free now & easy to sign up - of course I was one of the dummies that used to pay $25/mo for the priviledge --- WTR :P

Hello All, Actually, I have a somewhat related question: Is there a way I can get the menus in advance of my trip(s)? I hesitate to ask for diabetic meals as I learned the hard way on Alaska Air (in first class, MVPGold no less) that the diabetic offering was almost always unrelated to current...

I'm trying to book a trip -either connecting in LA or going to San Diego (& have family pick us up/drop us off there) - can someone advise me on a clean safe hotel near these to stations & if given a choice would you go Coast Starlight to LAX - switch to Texas Eagle to Arizona -- or would you go...
