some bad waiters actually seem happy to get Swedish 20 kronor bills from me... probably because it's like a novelty to them. :) I kind of thank the Swedish people for opting out of the Eurozone. :D

the Amtrak station agent told me "sorry.. not if they are not the same ticket"(which I fully understand) I got on Hotwire.com and got a 4-star hotel for $61 for tonight... (after paying for it, Hotwire revealed that it was the Hyatt Regency downtown, so not too bad) The Amtrak agent...

since I just got off the train, I don't want to risk the chance of being identified by the SCA who may or may not read this forum?

well.. what you know.. the SCA showed up at my door just 10 minutes before my stop and said "aren't you glad the delay is only 4 hours and not 5 hours?" I smiled and said "we slept sitting upright all night because we didn't know how to fold down the beds and couldn't find you...we emailed...

I'm on the 1st train and the 2nd train just left, according to Amtrak's train status page. :( (not that I blame the 2nd train... don't think they can wait 4 and half hours)

if I have 2 separate tickets, will delay/missed connection be protected?

it's a good thing that I have my family attorney's phone number on speed dial on my phone. I didn't put his name in the contact list, instead, I put "Ambulance" as his name. If I say "Hey, Siri, call Ambulance" then it goes straight to my attorney without me having to touch the phone.

I can report that the dinner in the dining car was delicious. (way better than what I had expected, at least judging by all the reports that I read in this forum, prior to starting my trip) The fish dish and the beef dish were both tasty. We had the last dinner seating and had the table to...

I boarded the train at its first station today, so I'll find out tomorrow morning?(I meant in a few hours, since it's already 3am)

this is obviously a newbie question. I have traveled by rail extensively in Europe and Japan over the last 25 years. (as well as Amtrak's Acela between NY and BOS, which I use on a bi-weekly basis) tonight was the very first time I've been on Amtrak's Superliner. in the upstairs room, the...

We were on an overnight train. The attendant greeted us at the first station. Finished dinner at about 7:50pm. By 10pm, we were ready for bed. However, we felt very stupid and couldn't figure out how to lower the top bunk. None of the other passengers had their door open, so we couldn't ask...
