I should've mentioned Flywheel taxi, which I indeed sometimes use. Somehow, Lyft just feels safest for little old lady roaming around alone, thanks to knowing name & face of driver etc and being tracked until I get to my destination.

But YES to the Coast Starlight!! I've done it overnight to Seattle, and day-trip to L.A. and absolutely love the Coast Starlight. Lucky us! Thanks for dropping by 🙏
