Hello everyone, this is my first post.
I am originally from Detroit but currently reside just outside Morgantown, WV (per subject line).
I have traveled round trip on Amtrak 3 times in the last 8+ years:
- Auto Train in May 2000 with a roommate from college. We stayed at a timeshare near Disney World for a week.
- Pittsburgh to Detroit (bus connection from Toledo) to visit family for Christmas 2000. I usually drive, but my parents were concerned about the inclement weather in the region. I think this was on the now-defunct 3 Rivers.
- Harrisburg to New York Penn (Keystone) in January 2006. I was attending a Catholic singles gathering in the Big Apple. I figured I didn't want to drive into New York City. The train seemed like the way to go, especially as I had a free hotel night from Choice Hotels to spend. I drove up to Harrisburg on a Thursday afternoon, used my free hotel night, then caught the train the next morning.
I mentioned my timeshare above. Earlier this week I booked my next exchange, in Sedona, Arizona in May of next year. I am strongly considering an Amtrak trip going out there (Pittsburgh to Flagstaff), but I would probably fly back out of Phoenix.
