Planning for the Vacation

The idea to take a train trip to visit Whidbey Harbor, Lorenzo at San Diego, and Maylene and family at Gilbert, Arizona started last fall when I heard Sister Strege, Auralee's mother in-law took the train to visit one of her daughters in Portland, Oregon.  After lots of investigation, work and time I came up with a Power Point Presentation that I shown to Susan to get her to buy into the idea of taking the trip.  I decided to purchase USA Rail Passes for the trip.  They cost us $420 a piece.
