Stir Crazy AUers?

[AmtrakBlue]

Me thinks some AUers are long overdue for a train trip based on posts I've been seeing here the last few days. :giggle:

 

[pennyk]

I certainly know that I am overdue, even though I did go to WAS for NTD 2 weeks ago.

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Shall we meet up again in WAS?

 

[pennyk]

My rather boring Saturday night of spring cleaning recently turned "exciting." The fire alarm went off in my 17 story condo building and most of us evacuated (all of us were supposed to, but some refuse). Some people were in their pajamas, but I was still dressed. I live on a low floor and it was pretty easy to get out. The fire department came and could not find anything wrong so we are back inside.

I haven't been on an Amtrak train since Thanksgiving. I hear it go by several times per day, which makes it even worse. We've been to Chicago a couple times since then, but we drove since the buckets were insaaaaaane.

 

[CHamilton]

I'll be going to Bellingham on Monday, and it's a good thing that I already had the tickets before the bridge collapse. I suspect the trains will be packed.

...take the train, of course!

 

[Bob Dylan]

Me! Me! Ive done Double Point Runs to Taylor and Temple but havent been on a LD Trip since Feb. when I rode on a Cascades from SEA to Vancouver, BC. Then the Canadian from VAC-TWO, then the Maple Leaf to Utica, LSL to CHI, TE to AUS!!! It was a Short Trip!!

I haven't had an Amtrak trip since Thanksgiving! =O

(I have, however, had many Northstar trips. That tends to quell the urge...for the most part.)

 

[Rail Freak]

Last August was my last trip & my next one isn't until this August. I'm getting a little Testy!!! :angry:

 

[Steve4031]

Yeah. I'm getting crazy. Last one was may 1. Last overnight was January on LSL. Definitely getting a little Nasty tempered at work. Lol.

 

[TraneMan]

I was going crazy, but got some what of a fix a few weeks ago on 261.. Can't wait till my next one, and be 3 days on the train!!

 

[AmtrakBlue]

I got my "fix" on NTD going to WAS (about 1-1/2 hrs each way). Still hope to do a day trip to Boston this year. And have my trains booked for the Gathering.

I can't go anywhere this year. I decided to spend all my usual travel money on furniture.

Furniture? How dare you!
Furniture doesn't even move - unless you push it.

[MiRider]

I'm going to go on a CHI day trip this week - I'm having serious train withdrawal.
I was fortunate enough to have gone on 3 wonderful LD roundtrips this year but my next one won't be until Sept

Train travel, actually travel in general, is too busy/crowded and a bit more expensive in the summer, imo.
Outside of day trips to CHI, I'll hang out at home, on the deck at the pool, this summer.

Can I come to your house? I don't have a deck or a pool!

Well, maybe they are getting rocking chairs. LOL

 

[dlagrua]

My wife Paula have a trip coming up to CHI very soon. Then it's off to Spring Green, WI. to see Taliesin (Frank Lloyd Wright Summer home)and the House on The Rock and then on to Wisconsin to The Dells for a few days.

 

[the_traveler]

and the House on The Rock

My apartment building was built in the early 1800's and is made of rock (walls). So you're coming to visit? I better get the place cleaned up then!

 

[CHamilton]

The Penthouse Suite is made of rock?? No wonder it doesn't get around much. Must need multiple engines to pull it.

 

[the_traveler]

That's only my temporary home while TPS is in the shops for major work - like it needs more caviar or Champagne!

 

[SarahZ]

I really wanted to do some day trips since I have a three-day weekend, but I've been so sick and buckets are stupid-high since everyone wants to go to Chicago for Memorial Day. Feh.
