I traveled out to Chicago and down to Washington last July and was cautious but not overly concerned and had a good rime. Had a roomette from NY-CHI, CHI-WAS so I didn't have to wear a mask most of the time. I really enjoyed the trip.
I just turned 70 today and hope to get vaccinated by the end of the month. I would like to take another trip this summer but like others have said here its just not worth it if your destination is still in lockdown. My plan was to book a round trip from NYP to Albuquerque , NM. I wanted to ride the SWC through Raton & Glorieta passes before 3&4 may become extinct. My plan was to stay in Albuquerque for 3 days and take the Railrunner to Santa Fe one day to shop and dine, then down to Belen the next day to do some railfanning. If Railrunner is still not operating and most restaurants and shops are still closed it's just not worth it. At my age I just want to get out in the world and visit and enjoy places that I've never been to before.
