Trains?

[slleipnir]

I'm so stupid with this sort of thing. Me and a friend were thinking of taking a train to florida, but I can't figure out how to work the site. Like amtrak.com or whatever. I was thinking I could drive to Maine, and go from there (I won't take a plane, and I'm not old enough to rent a car..stupid needing to be 25 -_-') Can anyone else me out?? Do they allow pets?

So far, after much trying, I've found that it's $17.85 from Portland Maine to Boston. Cannot get beyond that, it wants such specific information, and won't give a schedule to guess from. You're not stupid, Amtrak's site is badly designed.

Mayb Sandra (Tattsxx11) would know Boston to NY train schedules? I know her husband sometimes works in NYC, but I don't know whether he drives down or what.

Ok, thanks Karen! :D I'll have to ask Sandra :)

AHH! I LOVE AMTRACK! Awesome train! Mommy and I go on train trips for no reason some times. No, they do not allow pets on the train. Yeah, I don't like how the site is desinged either.

Yes, i'm no help.

The Acela (fast amtrak train) runs from Boston to NY, and then there's a train from NY to florida, so that's how you could do it. (however, there are 2 stations in Boston - one you would arrive in from Maine, and one you depart from to NY, so you'd need a taxi or something to get to the other station)

Here's a scedule from Boston to NY:

click on "Boston - New York - Philadelphia - Washington - Richmond - Norfolk/Virginia Beach" under "northeast corridor"

and here's the train from NY to Florida:

Trains are fun. Hope you can plan your trip! ^_^

You can take the Boston subway - "the T" from South Station to Back Bay, no need for a cab! You'd take athe Red line one stop, then get on the Orange line to Back Bay - see http://www.mbta.com/traveling_t/schedules_subway.asp

:( So any one have any plans and how I could take Zeke to florida (That's not plane or driving XD) lol

[Kfamr]

Walk! :D


Maybe by bus? It may be the same as a train though, only service animals.

[slleipnir]

That's silly that they don't allow pets..

Act like Zeke is your service dog! :p

I couldn't put Zeke on a plane. He is very afraid of loud noises and I know he would be terrified..I just couldn't do it to him:(

[Samantha Puppy]

Then unfortunately, it appears as though you're outta luck. Sorry. :(

[slleipnir]

Yeah :( I was thinking I could get a train as my only option -sigh- Oh well

[slleipnir]

So NO trains at all allow pets?

[Desert Arabian]

yep, pretty much. :(

[slleipnir]

Kinda stupid T-T
