Off to San Diego

 Off to San Diego

 

SFO777Jr and Mrs. SFO777Jr are visiting for Thanksgiving from Denver and we're thinking about a day in San Diego and a day in Catalina.  Since it's been a whille since I've been to San Diego, I figured that I'd do a little pre-planning and take Amtrak's convenient Surfliner down the coast.   A gorgeous crisp morning in South County and I arrived at the "station" 15 minutes before departure.

San Juan Capistrano to San Diego Santa Fe
8:22a-10:02a
 

Only there of us boarded here this morning with not many more thru pax on board from LA/north, at least in Business Class.  The Amtrak Café is on the lower level.

With a selection of snacks for purchase.

And Business Class upstairs.

With comfortable and roomy 2x2 seating.

And nice recline.

Business Class passengers were offered complimentary snack basket options of pastry or breakfast bar, and a beverage.

With free Wifi, which was quite robust this morning considering there weren't many passengers this morning.

I sat back and relaxed for the next 90 minutes as we journeyed south.  Much of the early part of the trip hugged the coast and featured some beautiful scenery.
