The adventure all started at an Ocala Business Leaders networking event where I had some great food and did some networking. I spent an hour at the networking event and then went to the downtown bus station where we got on the Amtrak shuttle bus.
This was so cool because I went to get on the bus but the bus driver said to hold on. He then went and lowered the bus. That was so awesome and the first time I ever seen that. I got on the bus and settled in my seat ready to travel to Jacksonville.
This was the start of my first train ride. Odd that it started on a bus.
On the bus I looked up and saw at the front of the bus, it said Free Wifi. This blew me away so on the way my dad was using the wifi to do work on his droid phone.
We made a few stops along the way and finally made it to the Jacksonville train station. My legs and butt hurt like crazy from sitting.
We checked in and at this point everything was going very well. The train rolled up and they led us out to it and used a lift to get me on the train. This lift was so cool!
The bus driver and people at the train station were very nice and treated me wonderful. They really didn’t look at my disability and think I was just going to be a pain. Thank you and I am glad to see that I was treated well.
This is it for now, but keep an eye open and I will be blogging more on this awesome adventure.
Until next time keep those wheels a squeaking!
