AMTRAK GETS AN "A" FROM EXETER
ALL ABOARD
On Tuesday we decided to do something we have been putting off for I guess five years. And I'm glad we did. We drove the fifteen minutes west to Exeter after ordering Amtrak tickets on line and we were off to Portland Maine. I thought this would be a relaxing day. What could hurt. Nice luxurious train ride to Portland, taxi into town and I nice restaurant and back again. Well I recently had surgery and about sixty seconds into the trip I realized that everything wiggles. By the time I got there I was a mess so no trip into town just get me back home.. This was my fault trying to do too much too soon. The train was clean on time and would have been a real pleasure under different circumstances. I would reccomend this train for getting either to Boston or Portland. Espescially when the Maine turnpike is backed up for hours as it so often is!! So if you wanted to go to Old Orchard Beach for the day this is perfect. The train stops right in the middle of all the activities. We spent $56.00 for 2 from Exeter to Portland round trip. There is also a snack car on the train and I think they are still doing a Sunday brunch. Just wait more then a week if you've had major surgery because it does wiggle.
