My 5th annual trip to go Christmas Shopping. This year I would go back to Albany again with Schenectady being the station stop due to its relatively close proximity to my hotel. I also had a rental car this year so as to more easily get around town.

My 14th year in a row visiting Cedar Point and my 9th trip there on Amtrak. Also visited the National New York Central Museum in Elkhart, IN with railfanning in Fostoria, OH, Elkhart, IN and Chicago. This year's trip also included a trip to the John Hancock Building In Chicago!!!
