Overslept due to cell running out of power. Awoke at 7:45 instead of 6! Went for breakfast - omlette, potatos and sausage.
After breakfast, joined others in group (Bill, Jishnu and Alan) for an AU group meeting in the H-Room!
Due to 97 being late, it was decided to have lunch on the train. Thru texting, we discovered that 91 was even later, despite leaving NYP over 3 hours earlier.
After arriving at WPK about 1 PM, the gang had to wait about 1 hour for 91 to arrive, so we waited at the station. While waiting, 98 (northbound) arrived first!
When 91 finally arrived about 2:45, it was decided that we would take a boat tour at 3 PM. (This was perviously scheduled, but was cancelled due to the late trains!) Because we had 3 cars, we could make the 4 blocks to the dock!
We easily made it to the dock for the 3 PM tour. This was the 1st time I took this boat tour in 25-30 years or more! The ride was good, but not in 50 degree weather. (Our resident Floridian - Penny - had 2 shirts, a vest, a scarf, a coat, a hat and gloves and boots on. The "real" people - from the north - wore a thin coat or a sweater!)
After the ride, we drove back and spent a couple of hours at the Eola Wine Bar to "warm up"! Then we went the 1 block or so to the station. 4 of the AU gang were returning north that night on #92. (Except for the 3 Floridians, the other "northerners" were spending another day or more in FL.)
#92 arrived on time, and my day in FL was over! I traveled both directions on the Silvers in the H-room. (They are the biggest room on the Viewliners, and for AGR awards are the same "cost" as a roomette if you qualify!)
Dinner was Salmon, rice and the cheesecake.
More to follow.
