Just getting back home. I only have 1 complaint about the train. The coffee roast was so black it might as well been charcoal.
Other than that it was great. 550 ish mile trip each way took about 9 hours. It was clean, the staff was nice( sir and mam, help loading luggage etc etx), the coach seats were comfy, reclined way more than expected, had 110 ac powe and wifi. Better than most airplanes I have been on in the last few years. Got a decent night sleep for traveling. Beat part is round trip for both of us was just under $200. Thats is way cheaper than gas in the truck by half and about what it costs I her car to drive. No icy roads to deal with. Over all I highly recommend it. Plus your tax dollars already subsidize it. Might as well use it.
Got to sit at a table with an older couple for a couple hours, had a wonderful conversation.
Ps just for tom. Since Saturday afternoon 478 voice mails. I already changed the voice-mail for the project to we are no longer taking appointments and there is no wait list.
