Hello AU Gang,
Have a couple of last minute questions regarding our trip to CA in two weeks.
1) Although we have tickets via Guest Rewards from LA to SAC, we have decided to detrain at Merced. stay in a hotel there and ride the YARTS bus to and from Yosemite for a couple of days. Since our tickets will say we are getting off at SAC, will this be a problem when we ask to get off at Merced? Will Amtrak allow us to check our bags from LAX to MCD? :unsure:
2) When our bags are placed on the Amtrak Thruway bus at LAX for Bakersfield, will/can we gain access to them at Bakersfield to make sure they are not put in a baggage car headed for Sacramento?
3) I suspect we, of course, need to let the conductor on the SJ know of our plans. Since these tickets are Guest Rewards and are part of a complete trip from TOL To SAC, we were concerned with trying to change them at this late date and perhaps totally mess up the rooms, trains on the entire trip.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
