Chug, chug, chugging along the coast




It was time. Time for my trip to see the grandbabies. Now ten hours away, it is heart breaking to see photos and an occasional video snippet of those two cherub faces in South Carolina.

The Virginia family was booked with work and school, so I was going solo.


I set out to see my son and his family in a new mode of transportation -- for me -- Amtrak.
Chugging for eight hours in business class for a price less than the cost of gas was a no brainer.






 


It was relaxing, clean, had snacks, and a view of the countryside. But the best part about the trip was the prize at the end -- smiling faces and a few days of loving and spoiling two munchkins.
