Hello from Tampa, Florida

[Dorisday]

Hi everyone. I had no idea this forum existed until today when I was searching the internet for train related things. I'm originally from England and have lived in Tampa for 16 years. My husband (from Pittsburgh) and I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively, and always try to make time for train trips in Europe when we're in England visiting family. Over the past few years we have used the Amtrak system more frequently, starting with the Tampa to DC or NYC route and then this year we took a month to travel to Chicago and then on to Emeryville. Came back to Tampa via LA, AZ, Texas and drove from there. It's certainly an experience. We have had some great and definitely not great service, but we still really enjoy the relaxing aspect of rail travel. Looking forward to learning from everyone. Our next trip is booked for later this year.
