    Default Amtrak from Indiana

    Looking for 2 additional patriots to split costs.

    I went looking at prices at Amtrak from Waterloo IN. to DC. For 4 people to coach is $486 round trip. Depart July 11, and return on July 14. Arrival in DC is around 1:30 PM on July 11. Means an overnight stay somewhere.
    I would dearly love to photo as much of DC as possible. I can bring my corporate lappy for dumps and videos on the trip. My company, no rules. Folks are welcome to bring their JDrives, DVD's, whatever for copies.

    I haven't ridden Amtrak in over 30 year, and I hope they have electrical outlets.

    I remember having a ball as a teenager on the trains. Use the IPOD, or Lappy, or whatever suits your fancy. After meeting a ton of patriots here in Fort Wayne, I'm sure it would be a blast. I have the good fortune to debate libertarians at work, daily. I love intelligent folks, and hope to meet 2 more.

    Are you a part of MeetUp there? You might, also, want to post a link to this thread in the Indiana sub-forum...

    I love train travel. The last long trip I did, the seats had power outlets every couple rows. Get on early and find a seat with an outlet. The newer cars have power at every seat. As a last resort, the snack/lounge car has power so lots of people work there.

    Looking forward to seeing y'all

    Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

    What others do pales beside what YOU do.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

    Thanks for the advice, and info.

    I'd like to add that I admire your efforts in this campaign. I went to ronpaulriders every day of your journey. The pics and stories from the road were inspirational.

    Hello! I am seriously interested in your idea, unless I can find out if I can still get on the Indianapolis Ronvoy.

    But as far as a place to stay, I have a friend that lives just outside D.C...Is it okay that you get a place on your own?

    Is that fare $486 for all four people or is it $486 per head? I haven't ridden Amtrak since 1982 and don't remember the fare being a whole lot more than bus fare.
