Big Friggin' Deal?
I've just booked a West Coast tour for late June that will take me from Seattle to Long Beach to see five, count 'em, five new babies, one college graduation, possibly one bridal shower and a date with my old bedroom in Bakersfield that needs to be cleaned out to make way for Grandma. A got a bunch of great one-way deals on JetBlue, Southwest and Amtrak that makes the trip pretty cheap. But my news of the day all comes courtesy of Amtrak:
1. When booking online, first go to Amtrak's specials page to find a code that will save you at least 25 percent on any ticket. If you don't check the specials page, there's nothing later in the reservations process to tip you off to the savings.
2. The little farm town of Martinez apparently invented the martini.
3. The Amtrak city code for my hometown is, appropriately enough, BFD.
