[QUOTE]Originally posted by nittfan: [QB] Hello again, and thank you ALL (sbalax , Smit195, notelvis - LOVE that one!! - and Gilbert) for the GREAT support and info! Yes, I am a Nittany Lion fan as you suspected Gilbert (the "Central PA" location was a giveaway as well I'm sure!!) I do truly appreciate the input from you all. I am leaning towards the LAX area accommodations option for a variety of reasons. We really only need a decent/clean hotel for the night which has a restaurant (or one nearby). We are staying in CA for 9 nights and I don't want this first night to be a big expense; we are splurging on many/most of the other nights. So, I do appreciate the input on BE EARLY to LAUS!! I am going to copy this dialog so that I don't neglect how important that advice is. I feel like saving the extra $100 or so that a downtown LA hotel may cost and avoid staying in downtown LA (we are truly "country bumpkins" .......... picture a "town" with an official population of 14,855 ('10) so big cities are not really anything we have an interest in doing any sight-seeing in. I hope I don't offend anyone by that ......... it is just not our interest or comfort level. I just double checked our airline reservations; we are scheduled to arrive into LAX is 2:39 p.m. (09/05) so we should have plenty of time to "decompress", eat, maybe use a pool if one is available and get to bed early. Then we can get up at 6:30 a.m. or so the next morning and allow 2 or more hours to get to Union Station. I believe the LAUS departure time for the Coast Starlight is 10:35 a.m. So, if we plan to depart a LAX hotel by no later than 8:00 a.m. do you think that is plenty early? Also, we depart home from SFO not SJO as I previously stated. I worry about myself sometimes ..........LOL!! Well, at least I double checked before I purchased Amtrak tickets to SJO! So, here goes another BIG question: what stop should we get off in San Francisco?! I see that there are 7 stops in San Francisco, but it appears that the Coast Starlight only goes directly (without a bus transfer) to SFF (10:05), SFC (10:10) and SFW (10:25) We will be returning home from SFO airport, so which one is closest to SFO airport and has the best options for renting a vehicle and then the return to SFO? Whew!! Thank you again in advance!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
