My first roomette trip was to see if train travel was an alternative to flying and multi-state road trips. The answer is a resounding yes. I went from ALY-DEN and was hooked. My next trip is next month flying to DC for four days then WAS-NOL paid roomette. Staying three days then NOL-CHI-PDX-ALY on points. As an introverted solo traveler I took my meals in my room on the first trip. Since reading the forum for months with all the comments and info from such a nice group of people I'm going to venture out of my comfort zone and actually go to the diner.
My question is, I leave WAS at 6:30pm, will I get dinner that evening? And do I have to take my ticket to the diner to show that I am a roomette passenger?
I will not be checking luggage and only have one bag plus a tote bag for overnight stuff. I would like to drop it off at all the stations and wander around until train time. If I understand correctly, I can use the Metro Lounges. Does the $4.00 fee apply there? Also is anyone familiar with the Magnolia lounge in NOL. I haven't been able to find any information except that it exists.
Thanks again for this great forum.
