    WUS

    I have family who fly into/out of tampa to all 3 airports. BWI is almost always the cheapest.. DCA(notice it avoids a name) is the closest to the station, but once southwest stopped direct flights, there was a period when there were no direct flights, and are not as many flights non stop now...

    West coast trip

    Why I prefer option 1 is the different scenery you get to see. The desert, the spectacular ride along the coast between LA and the bay(imho superior to the northern part of the starlight scenery), and the mountains of the zephyr. We stopped over in San Fran without a car. Next time we do this...

    Rejoice! French toast is returning to the menu

    My favorite dessert when I was a child was my grandmother's huckleberry cobbler. This was in north Georgia, and I remember going to pick them once. I love, and only use pure maple syrup on pancakes, and as a sugar substitute when baking, but imho it doesn't belong on french toast. French toast...

    AutoTrain alternatives?

    Auto Train depends on the oddity that Florida is a major *visitor destination* where people *really HAVE to drive*. Fixed that for you. Unless you are planning on catching a cab, van, having a friend meet you, or hiring someone to drive you to any florida destination(and it has to be...

    Amtrak's 400% food markup

    I would be not thrilled, about lack of a diner, but content with a Southbound Silver Star cafe menu prepared by Pret a Manger

    Auto Train Info

    Wait a minute! Whaaat? My primary recommendations are 1. Don't do coach with out earplugs, eye mask, and a great pillow and blankie. 2. If more than one person don't do roomette unless you are both very short. 3. If you are flexible on date check amsnag for off peak dates, and you can find...

    Pets on Long Distance Trains

    I love puns and thought it was clever, and silly as in funny, not meant to be a dig at the poster. Parenthetically | Define Parenthetically at Dictionary.com dictionary.reference.com/browse/parenthetically Dictionary.com of, pertaining to, noting, or of the nature of a parenthesis

    length of stops - geocaching

    I have ridden a lot of trains in my life and done a little geocaching. Never, ever, in even my wildest, "what the heck, just go for it", moments would I try to combine the 2. Except maybe I would have tried it the time we missed a connection in Cinncinati and had a 13 hour layover, but then...

    New AGR vs. Old AGR

    No, it muddies the water. I called a few days ago to book a trip in April and was told that if I wanted to modify or cancel on after Jan 24th, the penalty would apply. If I modified before that date, no penalty. What I didn't ask to be clarified was what that penalty would be assessed on. I...

    Large Auto Train Party

    I would suggest calling the auto train number 1-877-SKIP-I-95. Much shorter wait time than regular number and since all they handle is auto train, they generally know their info.

    Why doesn't Amtrak advertise stopovers more?

    I really wish they would bring back the All Aboard America Fares where you could go coast to coast and return($299 in 1998 and you could upgrade to a sleeper at booking, giving dates for your stops) with 3 stopovers plus train endpoints allowed and length of stop over not restricted. I just...

    Assigned roomettes for Auto Train

    My confirmations always have the room assignment. I always call AGR to book auto train since we always use points for one direction, whichever is more expensive, and pay for the other. On the rare occasion when both are cheap and would be a waste of points, I call the skip-95 number(never a...
