Let's Take The Train to the SIA Convention Update
Reasons to Take The Train
- Recommended by SIA Convention Committee
- Breathtaking Scenic Views
- Fun and Affordable
- No matter what, you’ll have a day of travel...why not do it the relaxing way?
Where are we as a group so far?
- Governor Lane and I are booked. We’ve decided to book Business Class for our trip to the SIA Convention. She will depart the train station in Sacramento, and I’ll get on in Chico.
- It’s not too late. Go to Amtrak.com and make your reservation on the Coast Starlight, to arrive on Tuesday, July 21st. I will be returning by train, Business Class, on Sunday, July 26th.
- We’ll make a dinner reservation for the early seating. The Coast Starlight has a dining car, the famous Sightseer Lounge Car with floor to ceiling windows, and a club car.
- Book a room for Tuesday night at the SIA Convention Venue. Use our Soroptimist Convention code to receive the discount. We’ve found this is a fabulous deal; likely the best in Bellevue.
