Day 3 from the train to San Diego- bad and good

We woke up early to find that Amtrak had not managed to resolve anything overnight.  We still had no way to get from LA to San Diego.  The dining car closed at 6am so no breakfast for Jim and I, we both walked by Mike eating in the dining car and missed him and his “good morning” greetings.
Just before getting into LA we were notified that the LA staff had found a bus to get us to San Diego, at the same time Amtrak help line was saying they had no solution.  We found our bikes in good condition in the luggage compartment and headed to find the bus.
Having all my gear in one bag made some things simpler!
The bus arrived in LA about 10am, we packed the bikes and gear and road to San Diego without issue.
Unpacking the bikes with a little help from our friends
We loaded up the bikes and I gave the granny bag to a guy who had too many packages to carry, we were both happy, the bag did not go to waste.
The bike ride to the hotel was short and uneventful.  We got a nice lunch at a nearby restaurant and then good dinner perfect for ending the day.

  2. At one time, I could email a post and it would post as formatted in the email. Google broke this so the email posts half work half of the time. I switched to using the web interface, slower but it works. -Bill
