Merry Christmas everyone. Ive been lurking for a few months and decided it was time to join and say hello. I have been busy planning a 30th wedding anniversary trip via Amtrak which has been on our "Bucket List" for a long time. Husband and I will be travelling from Grand Rapids MI (GRR) to Chicago on the Pere Marquette, then onto the Southwest Chief to Albuquerque. We'll spend approximately 48hours in Old Town, then catch the train back to Chicago and GRR. We've taken the Pere Marquette probably a dozen times back and forth to Chicago, most of the time in one day. We have always wanted to do a long distance train trip. I've reserved a roomette for our trip which is scheduled for March 22-26. Once we get to ABQ I have reservations at the Holiday Inn Express Old Town, knowing that its really not located in Old Town but across the street from the Indian Pueblo Visitors Center. We hope to purchase inlay turquois rings for new wedding bands along with hopefully more jewerly for me! I appreciate all your comments and posts as I am a "planner" and love to research things. I get almost as much enjoyment from planning a trip as actually experiencing it.
