Southwest Chief - Albuquerque to Los Angeles

 


It’s our last day in Albuquerque.  There is no place to store our bags but, we have been graciously given till noon to check-out.  I tried for another half hour, no go!  There is a trail by the Rio Grande where can stretch our legs.  The plan is to walk, get an early lunch, checkout, and go the train station.  The fatal flaw in this plan is the time crunch for checking out.  Deb is never, ever, never ever late!  By 10:30, she is checking the time, convinced that we will late, she makes her final offer - McDonalds. Quick!  For me it’s beyond the pale!  Fortunately for me, she acquiesces and we find a place that will make a quick quesadilla.  We made it back to the room by 11:38.

The train appears to be on time, until it isn’t.  Our next hurdle is catching the train from Los Angeles to Salinas at 10:00 tomorrow morning.  We have a scheduled two hour layover.  By the time we go to bed, we have been delayed over an hour.

Stay tuned…
