Hi! New here (after tons of lurking).
We're taking a sleeper (Coast Starlight) for the first time later this month (have done a couple of shorter coach trips), and I saw someone's post about feeling uncomfortable when not in jacket and tie for the evening meal in the dining car. Is that a personal issue, or do I need to re-arrange my clothing/carry-on plans? Don't want to stand out as slobs (in nice jeans and shirts), but we're having packing issues (due to needing to take more than originally hoped for).
And I just want to give a big "THANK YOU" to everyone here. Without this board, I wouldn't have.....
........ had a good idea of what to expect in a roomette (I expect lots of giggling....)
.........even THOUGHT about tipping (DUH!)
........ been prepared for the threat of cancellation and a last minute car rental (hoping to be taking the Empire Builder later this month)
.........known I could leave the big bags at the station when we do an overnight in Portland
.........been looking so much forward to the Pacific Parlor Car
You guys are the BEST! I do so love active boards.............
