Hi all! I had my second trip to Chicago on the City of New Orleans October 17-23. I rode coach this time, because I couldn't afford a roomette with all the stuff that's been going on in my life this year. Truly, riding coach wasn't as bad as I expected.

While I'm waiting for time to pass and my first overnight trip to commence, I thought I'd share my unforgettable and completely humorous (though it wasn't at the time) adventure with the UK rail system. In 2010, I spent two weeks visiting friends in England. I flew over and spent several days...

Hey y'all! Last week I posted in the guest area asking questions regarding my first overnight trip and the answers were so plentiful and helpful that I decided to join. I've come to appreciate trains late in life. My first experience on a train was in 2010 outside the US. I was in England...
