riding the rails


Amtrak is the only way to fly.  Especially if you can afford a roomette...which I cannot.  But I've ridden the rails many times, both with Cathy and without.  It's a blast!  We meet the coolest people, like musicians and writers and performers and little old ladies from Hoboken.  The dining is delightful, the seats are roomy.  The lavatories are easy for a blind person to find and use.  The club car is always jumping. 
From time to time we do have extra surprises, like no heat in the winter or no air conditioning on the hottest day of the year.  But mostly it is a great way to see America and to meet the people who live here.
