Thanks, I loved the trains when I was younger without health issues but the WC complicates things. We'll figure it out. On the way back last year we flew after the AT derailed and our reservation was cancelled. Bad Karma, though who loves planes and airports?

Auto Train. Am I right the Superliners have Bedrooms on second level only and ambulation and upper berths would still be problematic? Thanks, Any input appreciated.

I think I have it figured out after going to the Amtrak Site. :D On the Auto Train last year I slept in the Accessible Bedroom with my wife and my WC. Watching her climb into the upper berth with her health issues was a Nightmare, for the both of us. I have balance issues and would have...

The Government and Amtrak Brass thought they would endanger Yogi and Boo-Boo. When they found out it was Jellystone the money was already allocated to a Fence Project in the Southwest. 🤣 😷

I think most of us have done some Heroic drives' sometime in our live's. I did coast to coast in a similar time in my 20's. I remember seeing a flying Saucer following me at night going over the Rockies. I stopped briefly in Joplin, Missouri but was too wired to sleep. I've also taken a...

You must be a Cannonball Run Veteran. They put Turbochargers on the Prius now? Diapers, Speed Balls and a Cooler? 🤔 😷

To get to the Auto Train and then from Sanford to Fort Lauderdale meant 9 hours of driving. Made for a long trip with overnight in Lorton (old & beat).

We had a WC roomette if that's the H room (PC Correct?), we stuffed my Electric WC in it, then danced around it when nature called. Upper Bunk not suitable for either myself or wife at this time, with Health and Age. Looking for comfortable AT solution, if it exists.

Great thread, thanks. Unfortunately I can't climb stairs for a Bedroom with Bathroom. With Muscular Dystrophy outside Bathrooms on a moving train doesn't work and eliminates the Family Room (unless I can hold it for 27 hours)🤔. WC roomette and regular roomette seem like only viable choice, as...

"there's no such thing as a stupid question" What's a Bucket? 🤔 😷

One trip on Auto Train 12/19. Brought my WC on and occupied a WC Roomette. OK for myself but never want to see my wife, with her own Health Issues have to struggle getting into upper bunk, again. Would leaving WC in van and using Amtrak Transport Chair make a Bedroom feasible? Are there first...

It's gotten so bad here in Syracuse, their closing the Bar's at 10 rather then recently at 12. 🤔 We are at our highest levels ever and Cuomo is getting concerned. They have bodies piled up in these trucks in many other State areas, on the fake news, or can Goggle it.😷

I would put you as the Head of the next Biden Virus Task Force. I'm a little skeptical regarding if this could happen in the Good Old USA. I think it could start here in NY but would be a tough sell in Some Red States. Then again, if the Refrigeration Body Trucks keep rolling out and they...

I am also 73 and will be the first in line, with hopefully my wife, when it's distributed. I have multiple Chronic Health conditions and my wife has been fighting Stage 4 Cancer for years. I don't have Complete trust in the Government after being screwed multiple times after Vietnam. This year...

If you feel safer and it gives you peace of mind. it's well worth it. The Attendants concerns mean nothing. Tips heal attitudes. 😷

I have a 2019 Toyota Sienna raised WC Van. I had similar concerns but it was loaded on. It's a contracted company that seems to know what their doing. When I booked they told me there would be no problems.

For myself, I couldn't care less about the food,as long as it's not C Rations like Ham and Lima Beans. I just want to get from point A to B, preferably with feet on the Ground in the safest Covid avoidance manner. Eatable food would be nice on just an Overnight, but It is what it is. 😷

If we take the Auto Train to Florida, it will still mean 9 hours driving time, hotel overnight, 2-3 nights or days of travel. If we get on Plane 5-6 hours total, no driving (WC Van transport), at about same price as Amtrak. I don't like planes, but............ 😷

That's why I only eat foods with long lists of Preservatives, to Preserve my Health. 🤣 😷

Listened to Cuomo today. Cracking down on the Hot Spots Tuesday. More policing of Gathering, Places of Worship etc. Good Luck. Might be too late to put the finger in the dam, but he's NY Tough. 😷
