Hi everyone,
First post here, only second time taking an Amtrak (first time was Acela between NY and Boston). Though it is a short trip I am very excited and looking forward to it and what may be a future recurring trip (to Marshall).
I booked a bedroom (B, car 2230) because I will need to get a lot of work done (laptop, using the phone for internet though not very important) and it was not that much more than a roomette... so why not!
I would like to have my lunch in the room and I read that this should be possible, but could someone please confirm?
Looking at the menu (http://www.amtrakfoodfacts.com) is a salad included with the lunch item chosen (say the mussels) and a desert?
It seems that since the train leaves Austin at 9:31 am I will miss breakfast, and I should bring something to have it in the station maybe (I plan on working as soon as I get dropped off at the station). Could someone please confirm that there is no breakfast served leaving Austin (I read some trip reports where people seemed to have gotten breakfast, so I am a little confused).
I am planning on bringing an extension cord and power strip (my usual when traveling) so I can charge my laptop, phone, and GoPro.
Any advice?
I am really looking forward to it and I really enjoy reading the questions on this site (to learn) and the trip reports.
