My fall vacation finally got here. After a crazy spring, summer and even fall at work I was more than ready for some R & R.
This vacation was something a little different. It was billed as an Amtrak Rail Vacation but I have to admit we did a lot of flying too. So before I break things down into specific adventures let me give you an overview.
The trip name is Riverwalk to the French Quarter (Don’t worry, we’re not walking)
As you may have guessed by the title, this is San Antonio to New Orleans.
Our trip began in San Antonio Texas where day one was basically our first travel day arriving around 5:30 in San Antonio via Delta Airlines.
Day 2 was a Grand Tour of the city starting with the Alamo. It was a full day.
Day 3 was also in San Antonio but it was a free day where we could explore at our leisure.
It Rained!
Included in the package for San Antonio was 1 dinner voucher. (Hard Rock Cafe)
Day 4 was the train trip arriving in New Orleans around 10 pm. (They sure like their pharmacies in New Orleans)
Day 5 was in New Orleans starting with a 1/2 day tour of the city. The afternoon was ours to explore on our own.
Day 6 was also a free day but dinner was at the Court of the Two Sisters with a voucher.
Day 7 was our travel day back to New York this time with Southwest Airlines.
We arrived in Albany, NY at about 5:30 pm. I spent the night at my sister’s and drove back to Massachusetts in the morning. I really wasn’t ready for the vacation to end but my fuzzy little fur-babies were glad I was home.
So now that you have the general idea of what this vacation entailed I’ll get down to specifics in the next posts coming up soon.
