Amtrak's Pennsylvanian

On to New York City

Note: I am falling behind so I will do several posts today.

We got up early the next morning, walked to the train station from our hotel, and boarded, Amtrak's Pennsylvanian for our trip to New York City.

For the most part, the trip was uneventful. Due to a couple of construction zones, we were 17 minutes late pulling into Harrisburg. But, hey, we ride the Cardinal, and for us 17 minutes late is positively on time. Plus, they had a nice "cushion" in Philadelphia, so that we left there on time and made it into New York City a bit early.

At New York's Penn Station we waited around for the train to Yonkers. While we waited, we got a dinner in the station's food court. We had debated about eating in one of the restaurants there, but then decided we didn't have time to eat without being rushed.

The Yonkers train left on time and arrived at Yonkers right on schedule. Kathy, John and E were all there to meet us. Apparently, John had been all excited about Pops and GrandMom coming to see him on the way to the station and while waiting for us. But once we got in the car, well, that was a different story.

However, once we got back to their apartment, he quickly warmed up to us and could barely contain himself as he showed us "his car."
