That website was all I needed; we're heading to Phillipe's. The kids are already choosing their shirts. :D Am I being optimistic to consder having breakfast in-house, or would I be safer time-wise to get it to go? I'm thinking I will definately get some dips to go... I'll pack plastic bags...

We will be coming into LA a 8:40AM (or so) and CS is scheduled to leave at 10:15. Do I have time to find someplace to eat that would get me back without being terrified we will miss the train? Never been to LA's train station, but if I tried something like that from an airport I know it would...

Aw, we'll have to pass on the transit line. We've only got a quick layover from Sunset Limited to Coast Starlight. Just passing through LA. Just wanted to be sure that we didn't neglect to look for it. Thanks so much for your help! tonya

Is there any questions too trivial for her? The girls are counting down the days for their "best trip ever", and we have spent most of our time reading posts and looking at pics. (Not Packing!) One pic we haven't found has one daughter rather concerned, so she wanted me to find out if she was...

I saw that prices jumped over $300, so I couldn't do a new booking with th same ticket price. I wasn't sure if that meant I couldn't upgrade, even by phone. I didn't want to wait on the phone for 25 minutes just to learn that I couldn't upgrade without canceling and rebooking for the new...

I have a confirmation for DAL to Eugene (yes, I made usre we are on the 421, thanks to all the wonderful help here) for four of us. So I started thinking that four days on the train will leave us rather ripe, so I started looking at adding two roomettes so we can get a shower in (and grab a...

I have triple checked my tickets, and thankfully I am taking the 421, not the 21. I'd hate to be tryingto maneuver three kids at 3 AM in San Antonio!! I am finding LAX to Paso Robles will give us time to grab lunch and a shower, and get a quick look in the Parlor, for about $200. I think by...

I wanted to know if there is a difference between riding Sunset Limited or Texas Eagle. In my searching I am given an option for either ticket, same departing city, same time, same destination. Though the coach ticket is the same price, the roomettes are at least $100 more on the Sunset...

So, my husband would like for me to spend a little less time reading through every post to see what tidbits of info I can get to try to understand how loopholes work and where to look for bucket prices. Many late nights apparently are making me a little... grumpy? :) (And here I am looking...

I'm figuring no more than about $400 total food bill, full trip. That covers a $20 meal per day for three days (lunch on either end at destination), and bringing the rest. Food bars, carrots, meal shakes, etc. No boys on the trip, lol. I don't know that I am looking in the same place you...

We've never eaten much on trips, and really only figure on going to the dining car a couple of times. It took a long time for us to realize that the kids go for granola bars and cereal more than burgers and fries when they travel.

"I did notice that a roomette from San Antonio to LAX is $140 (called low bucket) on some days, from LAX-Eugene it can be as low as $163." For two roomettes, we would double that price, though. Would I be allowed to book only one roomette if we have four people? Honestly, the two little ones...

Is there anything you would hope a family who would be riding on YOUR train would especially keep in mind for their trip? Our three girls (8, 10, 13) are thrilled to be taking their first trip on a train. They are veteran travelers, but this is our first rail ride. We will bring things to do...
