I’ve been silent here on the old blog for a while. Things have keep me busy. After winterizing the house for the season, we made our way south. Along the way we met up with friends for a late dinner. By the time we pulled into my eldest daughter’s place in Massachusetts, it was late.
After a couple days my daughter drove us to the train station in Boston. We made our connection. The business class part of trip from Boston to Chicago went well. The seats were fairly comfortable and leg room was good. Wifi was excellent. However, the tracks had a lot of rough parts so blogging with a laptop on my knees didn’t sound like fun.
I thought that it would be easier when we were in our own room on the California Zephyr. While the room was more comfortable, that train did not have wifi. Also there were a lot of places that didn’t even have cell phone signal. All we could do was enjoy the ride and entertain ourselves.
The Western trains still have dining cars and the food was pretty decent. Staff on the train were pleasant and helpful. I’ll blog with more details later. Right now I thought it best to send off a quick post to let everyone know I’m still alive and doing well.
I’ve some photos. This one was in Colorado on our way up the mountains.
More details later.

Be careful out there among them English!
ReplyDeleteThe trains are full of Amish. They don't fly but still want to cross the country.
DeleteNice - glad you're we'll.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fine adventure!
DeleteWas starting to get concerned...
ReplyDeleteToo busy living to blog about living. The lack of connection did not help. I had a hard time to get enough cell service to do a minimum of business. I'd just get logged on . . . and we'd go through a tunnel. Everything also gets slowed down by all the security questions and other hoops they make travelers jump through.
DeleteThat last picture looks really cold, brrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteWe had a snow drift form inside the lower level of our car. Fortunately, it was comfortable on our level.
DeleteGlad you made it there with minimum problems. Have a great time, and catch up when ya can.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed myself. It was something different.
