[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] I certainly enjoyed taking the trip vicariously with Henry. Always nice to read a well written report by someone who obviously enjoys his train rides. While any Amtrak trip is certainly more about the journey than the destination, it seems to me that it makes it even more enjoyable if there is also something to look forward at the destination. I do agree with Henry on the CCC. They were certainly OK on our trip on the Capitol. A good crew and light passenger load may have made it better than others have experienced. But, it is certainly a waste that the nice lounge area is not used. Well, I guess they'll be used as intended if some of the new corridor trains ever materialize. I was especially intrigued with the photos and information on LA and Olvera street. We've always tried to get through the city as quickly as possible, but it appears we need to spend some more time exploring. As to internet connection, it was good to hear about the bar, just because enjoying a beer might be more fun than coffee in the Metro lounge (won't it be great when the lounge moves to the Great Hall). On trips, I depend on our little AT&T gismo that plugs into the computer for connection. I'm certainly not high tech, but we have to use it at home too as it is our best means for internet access since we live in the boonies with no cable. It is great to enjoy being on line anytime, except in really remote areas. But then, looking out the window and meeting people in the diner/lounge is more fun than doing computer stuff. [/QB][/QUOTE]
