    Auto Train Meals

    Hahaha - Buick not listed in the drop down for makes (so much for "all makes" )😅 I like the doorway technique, only you have to be sure you are perfectly perpendicular within the frame, and my garage door is 18 feet wide, so there's room for some play in the measurement tape. But I may try...

    Anyone take a 2019 Buick Enclave on the AutoTrain? Spec. says it's 78.8 "without" mirrors. :) I tried to measure, and with mirrors fully extended I get 91". With both mirrors retracted I get 81" I read the vehicle allowance to be 84". That's cutting it close --- Can I assume the drivers have...

    Where might I find one of those "infection maps" ?

    I do some teaching on the side, also. I'm an adjunct faculty for the local community college, and I hope to continue with that in retirement. This year has been an anomaly, obviously, but hope it will pick up again soon. ET:)

    Don't think I hadn't considered that. 😀 We are feeling safer about this trip now, then back when we booked. I just hope & pray that things continue to improve between now and January 2021.

    " I Feel Ya" :) Nothing wrong with OLD - I'm happy to be retiring this year, and being retired and having 3 beautiful granddaughters takes the sting out of being OLD for me! :)

    Either vinegar will work on the fries, but I do prefer the malt vinegar on the fish 😀 I used to like to eat at Arthur Treacher's Restaurants, and used a lot of their malt vinegar on Fish/Chicken/Fries.......YUMM!

    I'm curious - do the Canadian McD(s) have packets of malt vinegar for the "chips"/french fries. I remember the first time my Canadian cousins visited us in Maryland, they were in disbelief that our McD did not have vinegar. That's how they eat their fries, with salt & vinegar. I must admit that...

    Sounds delightful ! ;) The breakfast situation is particularly disappointing, as a sit-down breakfast is my favorite meal. Still holding out hope that we'll see improvements across the board, by the end of this year. Thanks, BLNT ET:)

    Bummer! I hope we turn the corner on this cray-cray virus before the Fall. I still have my fingers crossed for our January 2021 trip to Orlando......

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    I think we'll be content with the timeshare model for the near future. We don't need an entire house, so rentals are usually more space / $$ than we need. Don't think I'll ever be swayed to relocate to Florida - Summers there are brutal, and our grandkids are all still near us here in MD. And...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    We hang around Orlando - we own Timeshare with Disney, and have friends and family through central Fl and on both coasts. We live in MD - and 3 of the 4 seasons here are tolerable, although as i get older I have a much narrower band of comfort. But I have lost my love for SNOW; and the wife...

    Well, if things loosen up soon enough, we will be doing Florida for 2 months next Jan & Feb. We should meet somewhere for coffee/snacks. Good luck getting your vehicle returned and settling back in at home. I worked for Gould Electronics/Martin Marietta in 1993, and they closed down our plant...

    Yes, Railroad Bill, sorry for the tangential comments. Any recent experience with the effects of "social distancing" on the Auto Train?? I'd like to know how the Auto Train has been impacted.
