Amtrak Fall Coast to Coast Adventure - Photo Galleries Are Posted
Friends, I have been home almost two weeks and finally have updated my photo galleries with photos from my Fall Coast to Coast Amtrak Adventure. While the photos are on line and ready for you to view, I have not completely updated the photo galleries home page.
Other things have taken precedent over this update project. I have been recovering from a bad cold of coughing and nasal drainage that was going on the whole time I was traveling. And I have also visited a surgeon and will be having outpatient hopefully minor surgery Tuesday, December 20, which is tomorrow as I write this. Afterwards, I will be staying with friends overnight as a precaution of any complications from the anesthesia and there will be two to three weeks of recovery. For these reasons, I don't plan to be very productive with projects such as my photo galleries for a while.
So I invite you to view my photo galleries of this trip. Here is the link:
There are five galleries in this folder. Enjoy. Incidentally, the photo above was taken by one of the friends I have made traveling on Amtrak. So, thanks to Nancy of Sacramento, CA, for the photo.

Here are my next two planned Amtrak trips.
January 23-31 Amtrak 2017 Winter California Zephyr Trip -- This is becoming my annual "see snow away from home" Amtrak Winter trip on the Zephyr. I will fly Southwest Airlines to Chicago for two nights at Doubletree THE WIT Hotel followed by the three day trip on the California Zephyr to Emeryville, CA. After two nights at the Hyatt House Emeryville, I will board Amtrak's California Zephyr for the day long trip to Los Angeles followed by trip on the FlyAway Bus to LAX Airport and two nights at a hotel near the airport before flying home on American Airlines nonstop January 31.
April 8-22 Amtrak April 2017 Rail Adventure -- On this trip I will be riding on two Amtrak trains for the first time and actually traveling coast to coast and return. I will begin the trip by flying Southwest Airlines to New Orleans April 8 for two nights at the Hyatt House Hotel on Poydras Street near New Orleans Union Station. Early Monday morning (7 AM) I will depart on Amtrak's Crescent train from New Orleans through Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia(Atlanta), South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia arriving Tuesday morning at Washington, DC, Union Station. That same Tuesday afternoon (4 PM), I will depart on Amtrak's Capitol Limited through Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania(Pittsburgh), Ohio, and Indiana arriving early Wednesday (9 AM) in Chicago's Union Station. At 2 PM Wednesday, I'll board Amtrak's California Zephyr for the two night trip to Emeryville arriving Friday late afternoon April 14 for two nights at the Hyatt House Emeryville. Sunday morning (9 AM) I will board the east bound California Zephyr bound to Chicago arriving Tuesday afternoon and staying one night at the new Hampton Inn Chicago West Loop. Wednesday evening, April 19, I will return to Chicago Union Station to board the Capitol Limited(6:30 PM) for overnight trip back to Washington, DC, arriving early afternoon (1 PM) for a two night stay at the Hilton Garden Inn/DC US Capitol. Saturday, April 22, I'll fly Southwest Airlines home to Nashville from Washington, DC, Reagan National Airport.
You can see all my previous Rail Trip photos on my photo galleries in the Rail Trips Folder.
Year 2017 will find me traveling to family events including the graduation of my great niece Kellie from Mississippi State University May 5 and the wedding of my great niece Cheri July 15 in Benton(Shreveport), Louisiana. In August, I will travel to East Tennessee in August to attend Kellie's white coat ceremony as she enters Baxter School of Pharmacy at East Tennessee State University.
I'm sure other trips will be planned later in 2017. Stay tuned.
