[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 652931, member: 1550"] So I check my e-mail and I have one from Amtrak on Friday. Since I'm not supposed to leave for several days, my stomach starts to twist and I open it. They canceled the train I'm leaving on. Just canceled it. I call and inquire. Yes, it's canceled. Completely. It's canceled from now until April 7th. I can go home April 7th on that train. No, that's too late. Ook, well, I can take a bus to a train to another train. Having no choice, I agreed. A few hours later, thinking of all that switching I decided to call back, to see if some other agent has a better idea. The train is still canceled for my departure day, BUT they did add a few trains and one is running the day before my departure day. I'll have to take a taxi to the station...$100. Yep, I'm not in Kansas anymore. Son has to get to work and drop Junior at school. Train departs early. I have no ride. I take it anyway. That's how I'm getting home. I have never taken Amtrak without having issues, usually late trains, but this was the biggest issue. I'm deathly afraid to fly in small airplanes and there is no large airport within three hours of us so I took the train. Next time? Dunno. But I'll be back. Junior wrapped his arms around my heart. What a sweetie! [/QUOTE]
