Thank you for sharing this. I also like to have an idea of what's going on during such an emergency, and it gives me an idea of what's expected from me as well.

For those of us traveling on the EB this summer, what, if anything, does this mean realistically? I can't follow all the jargon, I haven't entirely caught on yet.

My daughter didn't need her own AAA membership? Why does it ask for her AAA number instead of putting hers on my discount?

I have a bi-polar autistic kid with PMS and two ex-husbands, if I couldn't handle people being mad at me by now I'd have no sanity left.

Thanks!

I paid by card, so then I guess the question becomes do I sign my daughter's ticket (since I paid by card) or does she sign (since it's her ticket)?

WTI is about an hour's drive from us in summer, I'd double that in winter weather.

It did ask for my AAA member number when I bought my tickets, and for obvious reasons I plan to have my AAA cards with us when we travel, but I'd be surprised if we get asked for them. I'd like to toss in another question: Are we expected to sign our tickets?

Have a safe and fun trip, I'd love to hear how it goes.

They came in today! *happy dance*

No, a show similar to Myth Busters busted that one unless the spigot is obviously dirty/contaminated. Let the water flow first then put the container underneath it, the flow gets rid of most germs.

I roamed that other forum when I first came here but because of the age of the threads worried that they might be too out of date to be useful.

Lake Shore Limited in Waterloo first, otherwise we'll never get to CHI, I don't think my poor truck would take that kind of road abuse these days.

Reply from Amtrak is that they will be mailed this week :)

Could be freight lines, I know freight still goes through Fort Wayne.
