[Nfbf-l] taking the train to St. Pete?

[Patricia A. Lipovsky]

I've taken the train to St. Pete several times, it great.  When you get off 
the Train in Tampa, there are folks there that will help you find the bus if 
you need it.  The bus stop in St. Pete is in a shopping center, with several 
stores and a restaurant.  If they are still offering it, the Hilton has 
shuttle service that can pick you up and take you to the hotel.  You just 
give them a call when you arrive at the shopping center and they will send 
their van to get you.  You can do the same on the return trip.  I would 
check with the hotel though to make sure they are still offering that 
shuttle as it has been a few years since I've used it.  I would definitely 
recommend the train if you can arrange it.  Its also much more economical 
then Greyhound.

I don't know how many of you have made your travel arrangements to St. Pete,
but
I am going and at this point I am planning on taking the train. Yes, Amtrak
does go to St. Pete--well, sort of. It goes to Tampa and then you take a bus
to St. Pete. The bus  on Friday gets in at 1:40 P.M. Unfortunately, the bus
on Monday does not leave until 3 P.M and we get back to Orlando at 7:08 P.M.
The round trip price from Orlando at the time I booked a ticket was $31.60.
That is with the disability discount. The senior citizens discount is the
same. If you are interested in traveling that way, check with Amtrak at
800-872-7245. Perhaps you can leave on the train or a bus to get to a train
from your town or city and right now, the price is great! See you all at the
convention.
