My annual trip to mark another year. Sacramento to Bakersfield by train, then covered wagon (bus) over the grapevine to late-lunch with Maartje in LA. Depart LAX at 6:45PM for overnight ride on the Southwest Chief to Williams Junction in Arizona. Meet my son Cassidy at 9 AM and at 10 AM we board the Grand Canyon Railroad for a trip to the Canyon, returning that evening for dinner and overnight in their hotel. Early train the next morning to Flagstaff to fetch a rental car for a 3 day 2 night stay in Sedona, first at Los Abrigados and then at Sedona Springs Resort with my kids and whoever tags along. Scheduled to board 9 o'clock Amtrak on Sunday to Lax, transfer to the Coast Starlight for a 13+ hour ride back to Sacramento.
