Well, here I go again. I need to get back down to Albuquerque to do some serious house hunting. I was thinking about driving but decided to take the train again. I enjoyed the Amtrak trip in March and the cost comparison between taking the train and driving is a reasonable trade off. The train costs a little more but takes less than a day while driving...at my pace...is a lengthy trip with two nights on the road. The food is better than highway food and the accommodations are not bad. The cost of renting a car is the main added expense but that still runs less than $200 for the week and I get to drive a new car. I enjoy the road trip down to NM but if I get this house bought I'll be making a lot of highway trips later this year.
I just made this trip in March so my postings might be a little abbreviated unless something comes up. I have about a half-dozen houses to look at so I might have news on that topic....I hope.
There have been so many storms and tornadoes out in the plains I'm beginning to wonder what Amtrak does under extreme storm conditions. I'd rather not find out.
