Hey Jeff Wrangler: Have you checked train schedules yet? The options for Amtrak are pretty limited via Hartford on a Saturday. I can catch a train in that arrives at Penn Station at 10:50 AM, but the departures are 4:30 pm or 8:00pm.
Thanks for asking, David. Yes, and no. I took a quick look when this brunch was first discussed, and I was going to make a more detailed look at work tomorrow/Friday (the boss is out Friday afternoon. ...
). Thing is, I'm in Philadelphia here, so every train on the Northeast Corridor running between Washington and Boston goes through here. There is at least one train that will get me into Penn Station about the same time as you, 10:56 a.m.. I have not yet looked into any trains to get back home. That's been concerning me because it's difficult to estimate when one will want to leave, and, as I've been complaining, all the Corridor trains are by reservation these days.
It's even possible for me to make the trip by commuter rail, changing at Trenton, but that takes forever.
For me it's the train or not at all. I live right in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, and it's too expensive to keep a car.
