Miami Day Five: Train-ing Back

After another yummy breakfast on our little balcony …

… and saying goodbye to our Miami Fortune House Airbnb …

… we headed to the Miami Amtrak and started homeward bounding. (Why do vacations have to end? Who came up with that idea?)

Cool Mural in the Amtrak Station 

Soon after we boarded the train, the rain started to come down! (Bad weather had not been a problem at all during our lovely stay.)

But actually, lying back in our reclining chairs, the rain was rather nice.

Of course, a little later, our Travel Buddies begged to go with us to the Dining Car for lunch …

Butter Cake for dessert. Oh my goodness. This is train food?!

Oh look, here’s our delightful new-bestie and train car attendant Jasmine …

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this train trip has been the really good quality of the food.

Dinner tonight was Flatiron Steak.

Robert says “Hello.”

Well, our little roomette has been magically transformed into cozy berths. The travel buddies are vacation-exhausted. We’ve brushed our teeth and said our prayers, so it’s time to say “Goodnight.”

Safe Travels to You!

Miami Day One: Train-ing

This morn, before the rooster began to crow …

… Robert and I headed to the Savannah Amtrak Station to board a train (a 12-hour train!) to Miami to celebrate HR’s bday. He has been wanting to take a longer train trip for a while now.

What a fun day!

Our little private “roomette.”

Surprisingly, delicious breakfast in the dining car:

A long day, but wonderful service and very comfortable accommodations.

More about our Miami trip tomorrow. We are here till Sunday,
