Hi all. I'm new to riding trains. I thought it would be a good adventure for my 5yr daughter and 6yr son. We are going from Houston, TX to Port Huron, MI.
Most I know is we get a bus from Houston to Longview, a train from Longview to Chicago and a train from Chicago to Port Huron.
We are going to visit my father.
Question is when I booked the lady said there would be plenty of room in a roomette since my kids were still young they would be able to share a seat, but lots of people seem like this won't be enough room for the three of us. I am sure we can just use it to sleep in mostly as the kids will want to be in the lounge car most of the time to see the scenery.
Is anyone familar with this type of situation? Just mom and two kids.
Any advice is helpful for this first time train trip. I apperciate it. Its difficult enough being a first time train traveler, but also having bad arthritis and diabetes and traveling with two small children. I wasn't able to get the handicapped room, since I'm still mobile, they wouldn't book me for it. I don't have extra funds now to upgrade, so we have to settle for what we get. We leave the 18th.
Also they didn't email me any schedule or anything, do I just show them the reservation number when we pick up our tickets?
Thanks!
