It seemed natural for a Sunday morning to go for a walk in New York City. But rather than head to Central Park, I thought that visiting the High Line would be perfect for Mom. It was one thing she hadn’t done on all the prior trips (one day bus […]
Leave it to Mom to introduce me to a travel service I’ve seen over the years but never used – The Amtrak Baggage Service with the Red Caps at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. We were scheduled to board the Acela (I got a deal for our Saturday one way […]
