Thanks Everyone.

Good Advice everyone! Thanks.

Good Information. Thanks so much.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Looks like we have alot to pick from.

Thanks for the additional info. Interesting note about the AC on the Zephyr!

Thanks Rusty and EMDF9A. Just added sweater and blanket to the list of things to take on the train with us. Thanks also for the good wishes. We intend to have a ball!
