Have some good friends leaving on their first overnight trip in a few days and it is an enviable itinerary. I will be dropping them at the Memphis station to board the CONO to Chicago, then SWC to LA. Coast Starlight to San Jose area. After visiting with family they will return to Memphis via the CZ and CONO. I will pick them up on their return. We have kidded around that I am taking them and picking them up not because we are friends but because I want to see the train arrive and depart.
Anyway, I have advised them not to judge the trip by their first leg on the CONO and that the real first class experience starts in Chicago at the station and in the Metropolitan Lounge. They are in a bedroom all the way, both ways.
Thought it would be nice to kick it up a notch by having something delivered to them at the lounge in Chicago or perhaps to the train, SWC, if that is possible?
Any suggestions out there as to what or how to do it? i.e. Flowers, fruit basket, etc.
Thanks in advance for the input.
