Pine Lodge Hotel

Friday, August 31. We dozed a little as the train pushed through the park, very dark shortly after sunset. Eric, our attendant, announced that the East Glacier Park and Whitefish stations would not be announced, so as not to disturb sleeping passengers, or at least that's what we surmised. Finally, our stop. We got up wearily and hauled our carryon bags -- mysterously heavier than they had been 24 hours earlier -- and down the stairs onto the platform in the chilly night air.

Our bags were delivered to the ramp and the hotel sent the shuttle to pick us up right away. We checked in at Pine Lodge Hotel, took a shower and went to bed. I still had a queasy stomach from the rocking of the train, but it disappeared overnight and we awoke reasonably bright at 7:30, very late for both of us.

About Me

My photo
The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
