Train Attendant
I'm sure this has been answered but I've searched several items and can't find an old thread.
I need to go out of town suddenly on a trip that is going to have me in several places over a couple days. I have found that I'm will need to get from Philly to DC - so I immediately thought of the train. I have wanted to ride the Acela for at least 5 years now (I live in FL so I have very few opportunities). My wife and I have spoke of taking a trip from DC to Bos via Acela but the last 3 years we keep postponing it. I'm thinking maybe I will just do it this trip. While I recognize the price is excessive, I will call it an early Christmas present or whatever.
Now that I have decided to do it - I'm leaning towards considering FC. However, I don't want to spend FC $$ and then not be able to sit with my wife - it would take away from the experience. We would be leaving either Philly or Wilmington early afternoon or early evening. Has anyone had an experience or feedback they can provide on if we will be able to get two seats together?
This will be a last minute ticket due to a crazy schedule; so the price may change and the idea may get scrapped altogether.
