Thank you for referring to it as it's proper name of cannabis rather than it's prohibition labels like pot, weed and marijuana.

A SAC --> WAS search worked for me just now. Maybe it had a hiccup.

I am so sorry your sister had a hard time. I can certainly even empathize with her period wiping her out as I went through a time where I was getting blood transfusions twice a year because my periods made me so sick. If your sister's life work is on the computer, surely she valued it enough to...

My MetroPCS phones have poor coverage but my 3G iPad had pretty good coverage on the CZ and CL. The areas where I didn't have coverage I didn't need it as I was concentrated on the scenery. I'd like to find a mobile provider for Internet backup on my travels. I also have Comcast Xfinity at home...

Hi there, I like to lay down a sheet or shawl when my head is anywhere near the seat cushions. I routinely travel with a shawl to use from a sheet, a blanket, a towel or make shift wall, lol. I've gone the same route as you in a roomette and although my train was delayed by over 5 hours, my...

I hope you have a really great time! Please report back on your trip!

I guess it's up to one's perspective if there is room for additional bags or electronics in the dining car. I never brought anything bigger than my phone and that fits in my pocket. The one person who tried to bring a purse to the dining car and sit in my booth ended up having to bring it back...

Why.. I was just making some notes last night.. Sac to Denver $123, $254 roomette Denver to Chi $143 +$257roomette Chi to DC $93 +$146 DC to savanna, ga $101 t0 $133 savanna, ga to Orlando $47 Fly orlando to New Orleans $128 New Orleans to Memphis $58 Drive Memphis to Ark and back $100 Memphis...

That's what I did, and I booked my trip dependent on when I could grab that roomette on the Zephyr for the lowest price.

Do you earn AGR on these trips? Thanks for all the info.

Every time I come back to this post it's a reminder to me that I really like to pack light. I am sorry the op felt so much frustration over the bag as I don't care for any part of my trip to be cumbersome but especially lugging bags. Even when I remove half my items I always feel like I have...

Oh, I am glad I read this thread .. I have missed having an IRC chat always running in the background. I will try to log in tomorrow.

If the OP doesn't mind me interjecting questions, if I was looking to grab roomettes along my trip, would it be better to use the USA Rail pass and plan the legs as I see the lowest bucket fare - or is would it be better to book the leg and roomette at the same time with a AAA discount. I'd...

I wish the Amtrak app was fully functional to recognize ALL of our Amtrak travel regardless of how we booked it, hopefully soon. I'll have to google to figure out what this 10 ride is that you speak of, as it's not something I'm familiar with.

It's too bad there is no really set standard for these room bookings and pricings. I know when I first booked my CZ trip I was assigned a room on the lower level. My experience changing was easy as I called customer service and was given #7 on the upper without any price change or issue.
