I'm a fan of riding Amtrak and it's about time I went east (beyond Chicago) I've been as far as Portland twice, and went to White Fish once so I've been lucky. How is Savannah? I've only been there once, but I enjoyed everything about that lovely town, and will see it again sometime! We actually stayed on Tybee Island that trip (our hotel and a few meals) but Savannah was the real catch!

My daughter likes to travel by train and so we usually consider it but, more often than not, decide against. We are planning an eventual Europe trip, though, and I fully intend to make good use of the trains when we go. In my experience, European and Japanese train travel is far more satisfying - comes of frequent use.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-59095341204278502082017-03-09T06:37:27.855-05:002017-03-09T06:37:27.855-05:00This makes me yearn for a train trip.
