I thought I would give a quick trip report about our trip from London to Paris and back to London on the Eurostar high speed train. I have only been on the Amtrak until now, but I went to Europe and had a chance to ride some trains there. All so different than our trains. I loved the Eurostar...

Wow, are you all so judgemental, you have no idea about this persons situation, what their disability is, and yet you all continue to minimize their issue.

I did make a complaint, my thought is that they should know, because it is not right that they should be able to treat customers this way. I am really not looking for anything, I would love to be the one to Re Train them, no pun intented. But again, I really did enjoy the rest of the Amtrak...

We just got back from a Minneapolis to Miami, with stops in Chicgao and Washington DC. If you like movies, you may want to bring some with, at night you can't see out the window. Magazines and books. We were lucky and all went smooth for our 1st Amtrak round trip, Don't be surprised if you do...

I understand we don't know their working conditions, however, just be kind, it is not too much to ask. Forgot to ad in that in Chicago we rented some movies from the Red Box at the Sears/ Willis Tower and returned them at home the next day, So that is another good idea!
