made it
I decided to take the 7:30AM Amtrak up north. I was going to just sleep at the airport leaning against a wall, then I realized "Hey, I have a pocket full of money" and went to the Best Western. Didn't get there until after 1, fell asleep around 1:30AM, then woke up at 5:30AM. Had to catch a shuttle to the airport, then another shuttle to the train station.
It was my first train ride. I don't mind them that much. I think from now on, I'll probably just fly into LA and then ride the train up to San Luis Obispo. About a 5 hour ride, and only $39 after you count in the shuttle fees.
Anyways, moral of this story is: You have to have an actual credit card these days to travel. $1500 in your pocket, $3000+ in your checking account and debit card, and 730 credit score isn't good enough for them I guess.
Secondary Moral is: Trains are neat.
