Well, my trip was great and it is definitely something I am going to do again. I do think I will take the Meteor each way even though I like the southbound schedule of the Star better. Going to the dining car for dinner was very nice and it breaks up the trip. I also loved the interactions with other passengers during the short train breaks on the platforms; great way to meet people for interesting conversations. My hubby is considering making the next run up to DC so he will get to experience it also. Would love to travel together but with 2 pups, one of us has to stay home. Unfortunately no RV parks near where we go, so driving the RV up is out of the question.
Unfortunately the problem with the laptop was a serious one. The power dip on the train did screw up my charger and has also affect the computer. Still waiting for one last part to arrive to fix this laptop but looks like a new laptop is inevitable. Lesson learned - don't plug in laptop on train, find other ways to entertain myself, LOL.
