I copied this off-list to Jim.  He has not started his travels yet, they 
start Thursday for 3 weeks. He tells me he slipped out of the pub a few 
months back and wanted to do so quietly.  The doctors are still keeping 
an eye on him but he is feeling well enough to entrust himself to 
Amtrak's tender care, using Guest Reward Points for travel and food 
while onboard.
