    Missouri River Runner - shall we or shant we?

    While in Kansas City check out their art museum, second to none. Also, the only WW1 memorial that I know of is there and also a must see. The old KC train station is pretty cool too.

    Which are the most outstanding rail stations to you?

    The old LAX is cool. The long since torn down and turned into a forgotten mall was the wonderful Saint Louis station. Portland was kind of fun too.

    First Time Using H Room...Questions

    I was put in the H room once. Not because of a handicap but it was the only room left. The big Ole toilet on one side of the room was a bit of a nuisance - had to sit on the pot to look out the window, but it was an OK trip.

    Boston advice?

    I found a nice hotel across the river in Cambridge, stayed there several nights before switching to the more expensive hotel where the conference was. It was the second time in my life I got to see snow!

    Checked baggage

    I just put mine in the rack by the door. Once somebody took mine by mistake but while I was reporting it at the desk in Chicago, the call came in that my bag was arriving already on the next train.

    Weirdest Cab Rides

    We did a trip to Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver, and back to Seattle. It was an "Internet" trip with vouchers supplied for everything including cab ride to the hotel in Vancouver. I had never been to Vancouver before but after about a half hour I noticed that the downtown buildings were way in...

    H Bedroom Fare Question

    I know in the past when roomettes were over sold, I was put in both the handicapped and the family bedrooms. I loved them both because you have windows on both sides.

    ny to maimi

    Only time I was ever late was on the Missouri River Runner. We got stuck behind broken freight train that could only go 2 m ph and no siding big enough to pull over. Finally it quit to running all together and they sent a bus to bring us into Kansas City 4 hours late.

    You can also take the Missouri River Runner train from St Louis to K C. It's not Teri by long and a beautiful trip. KC art museum has a world class collection as well.

    Solar Eclipse watching?

    We were so excited to see the total eclipse that was visible on the big Island and south Maui some years ago. We flew to Maui, drove around Hana to the south side (rather desolate) camped all night in the pouring rain and in the morning, while still raining hard, it go light, it got dark, it got...

    Map help?

    Much as I love riding Amtrak, I couldn't live anywhere else but Kauai. Just makes the train more of a treat when I visit the mainland.
