We had a ball! We started in Syracuse NY and arrived late (over night in coach) in Chicago. We spent a few days sight seeing and eating! Then we took the train (over night in coach) to Memphis for July 4th. It was so nice :) We were particularly struck by the Civil Rights Museum/Loraine...

Not scared off :) I was too busy having a great time on my trip to read and respond. I agree with other posters about requiring the child to pay the $9. That and, just because it's free/included/complementary doesn't mean it doesn't have value! Thanks for everyone's responses. We were too...

I'm so curious! I have ridden the "Late" Shore many times and am always frustrated with its mandatory 1-3 hour delay. But Ive only been on a few other trains, so a question to those who rated the Lake Shore highly... Why? I'm interested in your broader perspective.

I have an Osprey Porter 30. It's a great bag because it can be worn as a backpack, carried as a suitcase or strung with a shoulder strap. Very versatile and meets airline requirements when needed. I usually carry/wear three changes of clothes no matter the length of the trip. One to wear, one...

We are having the best time in our sleeper. Having traveled From New York to Chicago many times I've always slept in my coach seat. This time we are coming from New Orleans up to Philly so we splurged. I don't know that I can ever go back :)

So there is a limit on your charge? A point that you are responsible for overages? Thanks for the responses.

Thanks :) We are having a wonderful time and the chocolate tort is to die for!

I'm with my sweet husband on our first sleeper car experience (many times on Amtrak!) With meal service included, are we limited as to what we can order that's included? 2 sodas? Dessert at lunch? Thanks friends :)

Not at all. Suicide is a social taboo. I think that it is likely in so many of those situations that death is the intention. It's such a shame...

As someone who lost a parent recently to suicide it may be a commentary on the neglect of the necessity of mental health services and the stigma that surrounds those who do seek help. If your arm was broken you wouldn't think yourself a wimp for needing a cast but when you need to talk through...

I only called to get the reduction in fare. The itinerary remained the same. I called just this week.

I just had two legs of a multi city trip modified. The agent I spoke to was wonderful and it only took a few minutes.

You can't let the fear of a bad experience keep you from the opportunity for good experiences...

Chicago is a GREAT city! I've traveled there by myself with no concerns about my safety but that was because I was mindful of my actions and surroundings. (SWF with big knockers) I agree with other posters that you shouldn't miss the city... Millennium park is delightful. The kids would love...
