[QUOTE]Originally posted by Stephen W: [QB] GBN: It works out that I will be away from home for 38 nights (it's now 7 nights each way across the Atlantic for some reason, maybe to save on fuel consumption or because Cunard needs some extra money from its customers) and I have to spend a night in Southampton prior to the outward voyage as trains from my home town couldn't get me there on the day of embarkation. Luckily, my wife is used to it as Government service often took me away for some months at a time. We seem to have managed though as we will have been married 33 years next January - whether we will hit 34 after this proposed trip is another matter!! RRRICH: I realised that the train didn't go to Monterey but according to the Amtrak site there is a thruway bus connecting to and from Salinas -I hope this right. David: Thanks for the tip re about senior citizen discounts - worth a try even if not successful everywhere. Vicki: I intend to try Priceline as well as Hotels.com etc to get a reasonable idea of what's on offer. It's not fully possible at the moment because their calendars don't yet show the extent of my trip dates. I need to be patient for a few more days. PS. Hope it is still "sunny in California" when I'm there otherwise I will be mightily disappointed. I am hoping to see Pebble Beach in all its glory. We get the ads over here with the Governor inviting us to enjoy the wonderful weather in your part of the world and, whilst accepting the hyperbole, it does look wonderful there. Thanks again to all contributors for your continuing interest and kindness in helping this Brit - especially as we are not exactly top of the pops in America right now. Stephen in hot Norfolk still researching! [/QB][/QUOTE]
