Fourth trip on Amtrak

[WATJR]

Well, I am not exactly new to Amtrak having gone from Denver to San Francisco and Houston To Alpine twice and I really enjoy it over plane (40 years of business travel) and car travel. In fact I enjoy it so much I decided to see my daughter in Maryland and my boys in Colorado by Amtrak. Unfortunately, I couldn't complete the trip by Amtrak (no North South from Colorado) so I will be flying the leg from Denver to Houston. Right now I plan to leave on June 25 to New Orleans catch the Crescent from there to Washington and stay awhile. Then on to Denver through Chicago. I will send a trip report. I have flown over this country and even driven through a lot of it but it will be interesting as I found on my last leisurely trips on Amtrak to actually go through it and be able to sit and watch. I even have gone so far as to get sunrise and sunset information on the route so I don't miss any light. Next report when I get to Maryland. Unfortunately, I am going coach all the way because it is hard to justify a sleeper for one person although I will try for upgrades while traveling. But from prior travel I am prepared for coach. It is more comfortable that people realize.
