I know what you mean about laugh tracks. However, BBT uses a live audience - but they have cues when to laugh.

I love that show! Yes, they were going from LA to San Francisco via the Coast Starlight. As a side note, for the show plot it is irrelevant that the train does not end in SF, merely that it stops near there (which it does). Most of what Sheldon says is more or less accurate, as is the scenery...

I love the app, so far I have made 2 purchases for tickets/rooms. One was for our escape from DC on Sunday evening before Sandy. Sitting in the National Museum of the American Indian on Saturday I was able to purchase the tickets and room. Great app, really easy to use.

I am a Florida native and a baseball fan! Miami is safe enough as long as you take care as you would in any large city. That said, I love Tampa as well. The Rays stadium is in St. Petersburg though, so you would need to rent a car to get to St. Petersburg. There are buses between Tampa and St...

The main difference (other than those mentioned) would be in the individual condition of the roomette. Some are in better shape than others, as you can imagine some people mistreat the rooms - just like a hotel will have nicer rooms than others. But you really would not know until you are on...

As others said, not train, but there are a number of intercity bus routes. For example, Greyhound as others mentioned. You could also look at Kerrville and Megabus Bus Lines. Kerrville has a route from Dallas to Galveston, but there is a almost 24hr layover in Houston. Also, Megabus goes from...

Thanks for the reply! I was hoping to see a Horizon possibly, I have seen some videos on youtube with them on the Silver service trains. Perhaps that is only north of DC? Steve

My wife and I are traveling on the 91 this November. We have a sleeper romette, but my question is, what is the most likely consist from Tampa? I have been in Amfleet coaches, any likelyhood of a Horizon Coach? Also, what do you guys think is the likelihood of the different diner and cafe cars...

Be aware that the train does not go direct to Ft. Myers, so you will be on an Amtrak bus for part of the trip. I am not sure if that is a problem for you, but it is something to keep in mind. Steve

While we all know the coaches as Amfleet I or II, or Horizon for that matter, Amtrak also refers to the whole train as a "Viewliner Train" on their website. I know, it is odd and frankly incorrect, but they do. For an example, go to the Amtrak website and click on : Plan > Onboard > Seating...

Makes sense! If you are a solid sleeper you should be fine. Take a eye mask and ear plugs and you should be even better. If I were traveling alone I would likely take coach too, but I can be cheap! With two people the sleepers become more economical since they are charged by the room rather...

Sounds like fun, out of curiosity, why are you going from Emeryville up to Seattle and then back down to Portland? Why not take the Coast Starlight from Emeryville up to Portland, then the Cascades up to Seattle and the Empire Builder to Chicago? As per your question: I have taken coach on the...

I would take the AirBART shuttle from the airport to the BART station (Coliseum/Airport) and then walk over to the Coliseum Amtrak station. Or you could take a cab to the same station. But it also depends on what Amtrak train you are trying to get on as not all of them stop there (Eg, California...

You might want to call some hotels near the station. Often they will let you park in their lot for a small fee or even free. If you are staying at the hotel pre/post it is usually not a problem. Steve
