the second I saw "Border Patrol" in your original thread, I knew where this thread would be headed! :D I did enjoy the video but it was too short... how about the longer videos? Posted to YouTube, perhaps? Thanks! :)

I recently had the good fortune of riding Greyhound. :) Apparently the one of the things that some prisons give newly-release prisoners Geryhound tickets so they can get to wherever they are going.... I'm just wondering if they also buy Amtrak tickets? (assuming Amtrak trains are more...

Apparently train surfing is not a solo sport in lndonesia.

Amtrak trains don't go up to 206mph.... this dude trainsurfed at that speed on the German ICE: (caution... this lead to a scary YouTube video)

she's already standing around NYP and banks are not open today.(Sunday) her next destination is WAS.... in about two hours.

does Amtrak accept Euros at NYP or WAS stations? if not, where is the best place in or near those stations where a foreign visitor can exchange her Euros in to USD? Thanks!

can't see the pix... :(

enforcing made-up rules is the favorite hobby of every government agency(local, state, federal, post office, even Amtrak)

you sure it wasn't this one?

how much $ per hour do Amtrak dining car waiters make? thanks!

With all due respect, you should not make comments like that about seniors, unless you promise not to do the same when you're 80 years old! Perhaps I should re-visit this thread in 50 years? :D :D :D I always tip 20% at restaurants. I've been in the restaurant biz and I know waiter do not...

a couple of low-cost European airlines already charge you to print out boarding passes at the airport.... don't give Amtrak any ideas!

A waitress from a New York Chinatown restaurant chased me two blocks because I forgot to leave a tip. It was an honest mistake because I was semi-drunk, but not as drunk as my three co-workers who were twice as drunk. :D She said " you didn't tip, was something wrong?" Realizing what she...

precisely... which is why some may feel the need to recuperate maximum returns on that investment. :D :D :D I made that mistake when I visited Maine a couple of years. It was a live lobster all-you-can eat fest for $20 per person. I got my money's worth by eating 9 2-pound lobsters(the...

I also keep a scanned image of my passport and other useful IDs on my Google Drive. Worse case scenario, I lose the original AND the copy... but I can still use any computer/tablet/phone to bring up my passport. :)

In the early 1980s, I took Greyhound from NYC to Arizona. Westbound, I stopped in Chicago. Eastbound, I stopped in St. Louis. The experience was surreal. Greyhounds makes stops every hour or two along the way, so the entire trip felt a lot longer. I have not been on a Greyhound bus since...

Yeah, what happened to the strawberries? Round up the usual suspects! :D

That means some don't.... :( If someone requires no service from the SCA, is tipping still required? (make up your own bed, carry your own bag, have zero interaction with the SCA during the entire trip)

I searched this forum a little more and the general consensus is that small travel hairdryers are okay. (keep it at low-heat) Still don't know what the official Amtrak policy is. There are showers in the sleeping cars, so people have to dry their hair, right? Or are we all supposed to...

I'm still try to decipher what you mean by that.... :help:
