Just curious, since you have 4 weeks back east why no train ride on the way??I know youve probablyridden them all, must be a time restraint issue eh?(Ive flown many times coast to coast, as you know the

train is the only way to go when you have time!

Yeah, it is time. I have to be in PDX by a certain day in July, but I can take my time returning in late August! It will be my first flight since early 2003! The good thing (besides being able to train ) is that I found a one way fare for the flight from PVD to PDX for $112 on Continental! (It was even 1/2 of the one-way fare on Southwest! And better yet, I can transfer those miles - combined with my other miles - to AGR to use on my next trip! )

Sounds like the Airlines are either hurting for cross country travelers and/or getting some competitionfrom savy travelers who love trains!What a great deal, I used to take "specials" like this when I lived in the

NE(DC) just to see new places and to get out of town in the summer and winter!LOL!Bon Voyage!!

No problema,Austin is fast becoming PC, they have a "noise" ordinance("Live Music Capitol of the World"LOL!)and so many yankees and "outsiders have moved here its fast becoming like a LA suburb, not much happening

here except "growth", but seriously have a great trip and thanks for sharing your knowledge and

great trips with us dreamers!!!

Thanks! Surprisingly, I found this $112 fare for this 1 day (and it happens to be a Saturday too ), but every other day around it (like Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday) and every other week, the lowest fare was like $240 one way! And all the other airlines were that (higher) fare too!

I'm glad I found that fare! (In fact, I grabbed the last 2 seats at that fare! ) But it cuts down on my train travel by 3-5K!

Sounds like a fun trip. Thanks for the report.

I did not see the burrito stand, I wasn't really looking for it to hard since we had lunch reservations. I asked Chuck about it and he said it was a myth.

Yes, there was a burrito trailer stand when I was there last March.

It seems Greg is the one perpetuating the myth! :lol:

Been there three times and never seen it!

Next time when I'm at ABQ, I'll take a picture of it as a solid evidence!

Betcha I could "produce" a photo of that stand as well! :lol:

This will either put the question to rest (or increase the doubts :lol: ) but here's a picture I took of the elusive burrito stand in September of 2006. Don't know if it's there now but it was then!

Don't know about the Burrito but, after my last two Amtrak Trips, I'd be interested in the $5.00 Blankets, LOL!!!!!

My wife bought a few last time we were there. They were pretty nice ones.

2006 was a long time ago. Also, I think I see evidence of photoshop. :lol:
