@owensfolks HaHa…I could start another whole thread on funny things that happened along the way. We had the best adventures. I would probably start that one off with the train trip. We had never taken the train before and thought it would be a great idea rather than drive or fly in the unpredictable snow in February. Great idea! We got a “roomette”…Hey, the story IS actually a travel tip. A “Roomette” on Amtrak is not a “Room”. It is a tin can with a sliding door that they usher you into in the middle of the night along with a weeks worth of luggage. You get about 30 seconds to figure things out and get that door shut because everyone else onboard is already sleeping. The toilet is also the “stairs” to the upper bunk. My D hopped right up there and thought it was great! Meanwhile, I am looking at my “bed” that is completely covered with 2 suitcases, 2 Vera Bradley weekenders, a backpack, a garment bag, and a couple of purses…and I can’t even turn around to find a light. We couldnt fall asleep because we were laughing so hard. We had fun, though.
