Possible new site for AU Gathering V ???

[the_traveler]

It ... has been the starting point for many of my trips to ... America.

You mean Amtrak serves it?

Count me in!

I'll be there this weekend, using my AGR points! (Is that in the Eastern Zone - so it's a 1 zone award, right?

)

Has anyone thought that the gathering should take place aboard train.. We could travel from CHI to EMY by train.. just think of the savings on hotels!

You mean switching the focus from a specific city to a train route? Sounds good to me!

Only if they can add some more sleepers!

I think we sold out most of the sleepers from CHI to STL on 21/421 that Thursday!

(And that only a small portion of the group!)

How about having Gathering V on the Sunset Limited from Los Angeles to Orlando??

If the departure city were LA or Chicago could they sell another sleeper's worth of tickets if it was handled through a group sales agent?

I hope you're joking or there could be a very rude awakening in NOL. :lol:

That would be a 3 year Gathering, covering Gathering V, VI and VII!

Maybe we should substitute Gathering VI to the Midwest from the East. That will give us some extra padding in NOL - so they can "rebuild the Mobile station" so they can resume the "temporary suspension"!

While they punch list the Mobile station everyone could hang around the new Beaumont station with free drinks, non-alcoholic or otherwise, at Jim & Jay's Watering Hole.

I'll take the "otherwise", thank you!
