traveling nol-chi-sea on 8/3/12 for the first train trip in 55 years. it is our 46 year
anniversary, and it needs to be special. i have much in common with many of you.
what you do and see by rail, i do in the air. i retired from delta air lines with 36+ years.
PLEASE FORGIVE MY TYPING. I HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND TYPE ONE HANDED.
as a child i traveled nol-sea on at least 2 routes, and made the trip at least 5 times.
always with family, and in coach and sleeper. my last trip was on the E.B., and was
memorable. i have some questions that y'all can answer with your expertise.
1. the train crew-who gets tipped?how much approx.?and when? we are in the
room with toilet and shower.
2. the old vista dome cars were my favorite, but are gone. replaced by what and
how many? how hard to get 2 seats together in the sightseeing area?
3. i know that this is no cruise ship, but is it permissible to ask for and get
say a second dessert, for example?
I'LL TAKE A BREAK FOR NOW, AND THINK OF MORE QUESTIONS.
