I have learned a lot by reading this forum but I still have a few questions regarding our upcoming trip. I will be traveling with my wife in the beginning of February from New York to Miami on the Silver Meteor (we don't conceive of LD travel without a dining car) in a roomette.
1) How much in advance should we arrive at Penn station to check our bags?
2) I understand that we have access to the ACELA lounge. Our daughter will be accompanying us to the station but not travelling. Will she be allowed to wait with us in the lounge?
3) Do we have a chance of getting one of the new dining cars?
4) Will dinner be served before arrival in Miami?
5) On arrival we will be renting a car at the Miami airport. Is Amtrak already using the airport station? If not what's the best way to get from the Miami station to the airport? Will there be taxis waiting at the Miami station?
6) Can anyone recommend a reasonable hotel near the Miami airport?
7) Additional question: It looks like the SM is cancelled on Feb. 1 and Feb. 5. (I put in several station pairs and it always says sold out even in coach ) Does anyone know why? I didn't find anything on the Amtrak website about this.
Thanks already for your answers!
