This raises a question to me. I saw a guy across the aisle get his seat jacked by another guy. He asked was it taken, and both I and the man next to me said the window seat is taken but not the aisle. And a destination tag was still in place. The original seat holder had gone to the diner or...

I enjoyed it as well! I went all nerdy and read The Man In Lower 10 on the trip up because I was on the upper level, and read Murder on the Orient Express on the way home, when I was on the lower. :rolleyes: They were the perfect sized books for each part of the ride.

Oh, I have to tell a story about this. I checked my backpack when I got off the TE using the "same day sleeper" clause, even though I'd be re-boarding in coach. So I'm sitting in the Metro Lounge just relaxing after a GREAT walkabout in Chicago. They call for pre-boarding of sleepers...

Well, I feel like I can afford to bail him out since I just scored double AGR points on that trip I just took. I figure I can pay with those. Seriously, some of those folks were downright rude about it. I mean, we have to sit SOMEwhere, don't we? sheesh...

Awesome. But you just violated the Personal Info Law AND the Sarcasm Law. But that's okay. I'll bail you out. I LOVED the TE between FTW & CHI!! The LSL, not so much... I did it the same way: coach on LSL between CHI and ALB, and a room on the Eagle. People were very reluctant to give up...

How many ways can I say I GET IT? I really only need to be told something ONCE. I am annoyed enough to be trying to figure out how to just cancel my account here. So far all I can do is delete stuff. I have done a lot of risky things in my life and I don't live in a paranoid state of mind in...

I understand that. Really I do. I'm sorry I did it. I will not do it again. I understand.

Wow. All this because I mentioned my room numbers. I did do that, but have no intention of posting my email, nor my home address on a sign on my back. I was just curious about the locations of rooms. I think I'm gonna need a bigger flask........

Spent a day in a friend's boat on the Hudson, what a cool river! Happy to hear about the Erie Canal, that will be exciting!! And is my luggage of choice really a problem? I have the wheeled kind of luggage, but just want to use her suitcase, it's still in pristine condition and I have such...

Yeah! At first I was soooooo excited about traveling along the lake shore, then realized I'd leave CHI at 9:30pm. I thought "oh well, I'll catch the view on the way back!"...Nope Get on at 7:30 pm to come back... kind of a bummer!! I will TRY to be awake for it!! Thanks!

True, true.... I just wanted to get into the spirit of things!! :lol:

Thank you. Guess I didn't realize that was an issue. It's cool that I'll get to experience both levels!

Another good reason for bringing earplugs..... I believe I'll bring extras...

Can we just delete this thread please?

I've got my reading material. :) Two vintage paperbacks Murder on the Orient Express (1974 ed.) and The Man in Lower Ten (1964 ed.). Never read Agatha Christie, but loved Mary Roberts Rinehart as a teen. They are small and light for my backpack that I'll be toting around Chicago for several...

A lot of great recommendations here! Thanks to all!! :)

Can't seem to be able to upload a photo...but the Cleburne station in question here is a nice little station. It was indeed closed, and in triple digit Texas heat today, that really sucked. But the interior looked nice and clean, there were benches and a ticket counter. There was a cool old...

"WATCH IT, SUCKA!!!"

SACRILEGE!!!!! Pages!!! Pages, not screens!!!!! *clutches heart Fred Sanford style*

"Now if they said, "It was said on AU, ..."! :giggle:" ....then it MUST be true!!!!! :lol:
