Well, thanks to Amtrak, I am going to have to change my name from TrainFanMom (for my son, the train fan) to just TrainFan ;-) We unfortunately had to cancel a vacation that we had planned for the end of summer so I have replaced it with another trip on the Coast Starlight :lol: We had such a good time on our one-way trip last month that we booked round trip from LAX to San Jose this time.
I was amazed to see that we got the lowest bucket prices on all the rooms also, considering that we made the reservations so close to the travel dates. We booked two upper-level roomettes for the first leg of the trip, across the hall from each other. That way if they need downtime, I can put both kids in one with a movie playing while my Mom and I enjoy the view from the other (and I can still keep an eye on them). Then on the trip home, we booked the family room again, which was even cheaper than two roomettes for that travel day.
Oh, I can see how this can easily become an addiction, LOL.
