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 crew(s) were fantastic and we eventually got to Yuma (our 86 yr old Dad drove to LA to meet us & drove us to Yuma. - that part was the scariest thing I've done in decades but God Love him for caring so much. I have some amusing musings about the trip south and the return, but don't want to bore anyone so will write more if asked. It certainly was nice to leave just before my little town got hit with 97 mph sustained winds & another 3 feet of snow -- that made the ripe citrus hanging in the trees extra tempting.
I want all the people on here who freely shared their expertise helping me plan this trip to know how very much I appreciate you all & I can't wait for my next long trip - just wish I could come to the gathering in BOS, but can't take time off.
If you want details (gorey or not, lol) just let me know ---- now I am addicted to riding in my cabin & enjoying the Parlour Car-----WTR
