Cardinal to Chicago. EB to Seattle, the remodeled sleepers were an improvement with new panelling, thicker mattresses, redesigned restrooms, roomier showers with glass doors, welcome kit with energy bar, trail mix, gum, hand cream and Elvis CD. Champagne in room before dinner. Wine and cheese tasting the next day. On time. Two days in Seattle.
CS to Emeryville. Wine and cheese tasting in Parlor Car. Movie in the Theater were I left my camera. On time. Two days in San Fransisco.
Emeryville to Chcago on CZ. Sitting for three hours after Glenwood Springs waiting for track work. It was dark through the Rockies. Great Zepherette in Sandi as she procured two menus for me. Five hours late.
Cardinal already gone even though twenty of us were connecting. Choice of three nights in Chicago or one night and The Dog. We needed to get home so we took the latter, The Congress Plaza, HORRIBLE HOTEL, and Greyhound, a reality check. On time but 11 hours later than Cardinal
Overall a fun trip except losing the camera and having the same menu on every train. We try to stay positive.
