    West Coast Amtrak Stops - Need advice

    I've been in a hostel in SLO and it's a charming house. You can take a public transportation all the way to Morro Bay. For a tour, there is a mission in downtown SLO, a good walking distance from the hostel. Montana de Oro State Park would be very educational for your Girls Scout but the...

    You can take the city bus #50 which will take you to the airport. The bus goes through the car rental places along the route. The transportation center is right next door to Amtrak/Greyhound station. I've used it several times. http://www.cabq.gov/transit/bus-routes

    LAX Baggage Service Question

    Could you give us more specific on which stations you'll be boarding, transfer, and arriving stations? Some stations are unstaffed so that means no one is available to handle checked baggage from baggage car to station checked baggage area.

    Are You Afraid Of Flying?

    Flying may be good if you're well prepared for. Caught in a crowd is stressful- some people are having no common sense with those large suitcases or even tons of personal belongings, long lines, coughings, timing, weather delayed our even cancellation, etc.

    No checked baggage in Anaheim?

    Other option would be taking Metrolink train to LAUS when the passenger load is not high, i.e. rush hour. There is space by the vestibule that fit your luggage.
