Riding AMTRAK
« on: March 20, 2012, 11:00:51 AM »
My husband and I just returned from a short vacation that included riding AMTRAK from California to Denver (about 30 hours).  I did a bit of research ahead of time and decided to take a chance on train food especially since carrying on food was impractical for us.  I had no problem adapting dining car menus to my FTS standards and was pleasantly surprised by the scale this morning.  Since we had to eat on their schedule, I will plan to take some snacks the next time we take the train because the "snack bar" didn't have what I needed, but it was a fun experience.  The scenery is spectacular.

We should have an FTS train trip - add it to the list with the cruise.
