Anyone have knowledge of long term parking in Picayune, Mississippi? Specifically, the safety aspect for parking there for around two weeks during the Thanksgiving holiday. Also, the availability of parking spaces around the holiday.

Enjoyed reading your report. Happy to hear Rob is still on the Crescent. He is one of my favorites.

I was initially told by the first AGR agent on Tuesday about the "glitch" when the AGR and Amtrak accounts were merged back in January. The second AGR agent on Wednesday questioned the initial explanation and was informed of the hack after discussing the matter of the lead supervisor. Let's...

Upon checking the posting of points to my account my address in my AGR profile was incorrect. It showed an address from Massachusetts. I then checked my wife's profile and her address was incorrect as well (it showed Memphis, TN). Both addresses were corrected yesterday in the AGR profile on...

I just finished a one-way rental with Hertz at their 1165 Cassat Avenue, Jacksonville location. After returning the vehicle they provided a complimentary ride to the Amtrak station. I will be using this arrangement again on my return trip in a few weeks. The Hertz facility has a decent size...

Boston Blackies.

This establishment is my choice to eat during Amtrak layovers. It is no more than a 10 minute walk. They get a large lunch crowd from the local businesses. Go around 11:30 AM to fight the crowd or after 1:00 PM.

It is matter of preference. I request this bedroom when making reservations on Superliner consists. My main reason is the quiet aspect. It is the only bedroom that does not have a flimsy divider separating adjoining bedrooms (E,D or B,C).

Well I was the AU member that opted out!. With so much uncertainty going on at the time I made decision to get an evoucher and drive home. My wife and I spent Monday night locally. We departed on our road trip Tuesday and arrived home Wednesday night. Tom was very helpful in my decision...

Here was my situation back in October during the South Carolina flooding saga. Traveling on the Auto Train in my case is driving 300 miles south to Sanford. On the morning of my travel on October 4 I called Amtrak to confirm the train was running. Despite the train being cancelled the day...

Thanks for all those updates Tom!

I was going to make this recommendation as well after meeting a fellow train passenger on the SW Chief a few years ago. She lives in Columbus and when traveling to/from the west coast she drives to Galesburg (GBB) and then uses the SW Chief. In her words, the station was in a safe area and...

I agree with your thoughts on the lack of financial participation by Florida. The Tallahassee mayor earlier this week was quoted as saying " "We're not anticipating the local government will have to contribute anything," Mayor Andrew Gillum said. "I mean we contribute to the federal government...

I second Boston Blackies http://bostonblackies.com/index.php Their meals are excellent too for a long layover. They do get a good lunch and dinner crowd. Too noisy for some.

Any suggestions for long term parking near the Memphis, TN station? The Amtrak website indicates only short term parking is provided.

Probably is targeted Jim. I have not purchased any points this year. My wife also received the offer and she has not purchased any points this year as well.

FWIW, I recently received an email from AGR. Buy Points promotion is back again. Up to 30% additional points on a 15k max purchase. It runs until the end of the year.
