On board the Clipper, ready for the 0800 departure. Victoria (and home) is just over three hours away!

The train got in early so we have checked in our hotel already. We are in room 211 for those of you that need to know. #USvacation

The Parlor car on this train has wireless! We are currently stopped in San Jose, CA and we have just finished a great New York steak dinner.

We have arrived at the Los Angeles Union Station. Our next train is scheduled to leave at 1020. #USvacation

Just leaving El Paso. If on time, we should be in Los Angeles at 0830 tomorrow morning for all of 110 minutes before leaving for Seattle.

And we're off! Goodbye New Orleans, we had a great time visiting family. Sad to go but looking forward to getting home.

We are at Union Station about to get started on our train trip back home. #USvacation

It was bound to happen: we are having lunch at Cracker Barrel. #USvacation

Arrived in New Orleans and have stopped for a bite to eat on our way to Baton Rouge. #USvacation

Somewhere in Mississippi about to have red beans and rice with andouille sausage. #USvacation
