[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ocala Mike: [qb] Met up with GBN for lunch today in Belleview, FL (about an hour or so NW of Sanford). Wished him a nice trip on the AT, and awaiting his report when he arrives in Chicagoland. [/qb][/QUOTE]From Holiday Inn West; Akron OH-- Mike, you should be pleased to know I told "Lady Lex" (the GPS Sat/Nav) "you're fired". She wanted to take me to Sanford on first I-75 thence Turnpike to I-4. I would have done it had I had balance in my SunPass for such, but I didn't, so I took your routing starting with SR42, thence US 441 to SR 46. Got there at 230P. All told in a word, 52(29) upheld my "more positives than negatives". Beef Tournedos at Dinner were "super" as were table companions. "LOR arrival was 1000A, and "Lex Noir" was one of the first off. In fact I was talking with some people I had met, did not hear the loading # called, but I did hear "Black Lexus with Illinois plates". They said it was about fifth off and was sitting there waiting on me for fifteen minutes. I showed the lovely girl - a loading supervisor my "booby prize" - a sunscreen - from being last unloaded on about Voyage 15. AT is a great service, but I really think the only possible markets beyond LOR-SFA would be adding carriers to #3 Galesburg-La Junta and #5 Galesburg-Irondale CO. Remember, the AT clientele are simply not hobby travelers and definitely not railfans. Again I note, I wish more here had occasion to try out AT. (Yes, even though I've lived in Chicago for forty years, I know I'm really a New Yorker at heart). Addendum, Feb 2; now that all usage has been reported at my SunPass account, there is a balance remaining of $2.90. Therefore I would have had adequate balance to take "Lady Lex's" suggested route via the TP ($2.00 toll). However, I got to SFA with time to spare and I got to see Eustis, Mt. Dora, and Sorrento - localities that not too many sonwbird tourists see the likes of. [/QB][/QUOTE]
