All Booked

The final legs of the big train trip have been booked:
  • Aug 17-18 ~ New Orleans-New York ~ Crescent
  • Aug 18 ~ New York-Hartford
Now we just have to book hotels and find things to do in Seattle, LA, and New Orleans.  Any suggestions?  I definitely want to do the Seattle Underground tour and ride on a streetcar in New Orleans.  Sadly, the Red Sox are in Seattle and LA about a week or so after we are there.  That would have been good timing...

Riding the Rails...

Dad booked the first 4 legs of our train trip for next summer, with the final leg not yet open for reservations.

Booked today were the following legs:
  • Aug 1-2 ~ Springfield, MA-Chicago ~ Lakeshore Limited
  • Aug 3-5 ~ Chicago-Seattle ~ Empire Builder
  • Aug 8-9 ~ Seattle-Los Angeles ~ Coastal Starlight
  • Aug 12-14 ~ Los Angeles-New Orleans ~ Sunset Limited

To be booked as soon as it becomes available:
  • Aug 17-18 ~ New Orleans-New York ~ Crescent
Hotel accommodations will be needed in Seattle (3 nights) and New Orleans (3 nights).  We'll stay with Susie one night in Chicago and Betsy & George for three nights in LA.

This happened quickly...
