    Worst trip ever taken on Amtrak

    That sucked, but let it go for your own sake. I also need assistance going on trips and leaving the house. People have been wonderful helping the majority of the time but I am not surprised when I run into self-centered jerks on occasion. I'd probably be screaming at an Amtrak Rep. now just...

    Coach Ridership on Auto Train

    Us older, physically challenged people prefer too stay away from the youngsters anyways. We can pass gas as we please, talk about the good old days, and take out our chompers (teeth) out and not be subconscious. :confused:😷

    Covid will dictate the future

    Hardly any Flu this year, is that a clue to wearing Masks? I've had both shots and will be Double Masking for awhile. No one lives forever but the chore of wearing a Mask, or others looks or opinions, for me is not substantial. People are still dying and getting sick, why not avoid it, as best...

    Height of beds off floor (inches) for handicapped traveller?

    I agree. I use a Transport chair to get on plane, then carefully wobble down the isles and struggle to get up to get off the plane. I can use a Walker around the house. If I were doing the train again, I'd use the transport chair service to get on and off, and the Accessible Roomette with...

    Height of beds off floor (inches) for handicapped traveller?

    Thanks, but disappointed. I thought it was a lot sleazier than that. I will use the Politically Correct (PC) less offensive term Accessible Room in the future.;)😷

    Height of beds off floor (inches) for handicapped traveller?

    Height of beds off floor (inches) for handicapped traveller?

    I had no trouble with the lower bunk going down on the Auto train last year in WC Room. I have trouble standing, (plane seats are difficult) my wife might have put out a hand to help me into chair. The toilet was low (usually use an insert) but again made it off and didn't drink much that trip...

    Are you scared to take the train now?

    I get my second shot Tuesday. My wife has had both. We will probably fly down to Fort Lauderdale beginning of March to see aging newborn Grandchild and close on a Condo. Should be somewhat protected by then (85%). We're old and have health conditions that would scare away a Vampire. Will...

    Covid will dictate the future

    I have a beard. A friend told me that the particles could sneak under the Mask. Any opinions, here? Triple mask, shave, a Divers Helmet, move to Taiwan? 😷 😷 😷

    Post-vaccine Amtrak travel

    What a National Circus. The Ring Master has avowed to destroy it and the vaccinated Clowns up on the Hill are practicing their routines. The Florida Governor isn't much better, but to his credit. people are getting Shots. Here in NY it looks like a long time before either my wife or I qualify...

    Post-vaccine Amtrak travel

    I hit a Trip Wire on an IED in 69 in Vietnam. Lost an eye and nearly my legs. The pictures of over crowded Hospital Wards, suffering, and the life saving machines, bring back a lot of memories. The Anger I have towards the Fools who think they are Immune and think that suffering alone in a...

    Questions on Recent Auto Train Experiences?

    Start looking at Auto Carrier Trucks, big bucks. You Low Bid them all, and have a Ball. That's how mine was transported. When we were in Florida, someone did tell us they had someone drive their car down, and flew them back, each year. Canadians! Can I call you after we get our Vaccinations? 🤣 😷

    Questions on Recent Auto Train Experiences?

    Other Options? Used Auto Train going down. Going back to Syracuse from Fort Lauderdale, I used an Auto Carrier and had a 3 hour non stop reasonably priced flight. We saved 10 hours of driving and a couple of days of travel.

    New DOT Service Animal definitions

    I think service dogs can be important factors to provide safety and emotional support for a small segment of the population. I also believe people abuse this privilege to bring there pets along and at times seek sympathy for their conditions that are not serious enough to affect the rights of...

    Bedroom vs. Roomette?

    Good Info, we got 2 twins on our adjustable King and will try a dry run. If we both get Makeovers and the light is dim, it might work for a few hours. Thanks 🤣 😷🍺
