kewl... so is there like a menu? or a set menu? can you special order meals like on a plane? I have travelled the world over and wouldn't ever leave the train station unless it was safe.... So has anyone ridden the train from Minn to Minot?
If you want to, even right out a little report or keep a journal of events that happen through the day and the trip. This also keeps you busy and gives you a time to reflect.USAFLady said:Whistler, thanks I'll go read that.....
Amfleet, thanks for the shortcut to menus.....
you guys have been so great helping me with your answers.....
I am so excited about my trip that I can't wait..... it all seems so kewl..... I might even have to make a website for everyone to see my pictures from the trip
They are.whistler said:I believe, and I maybe wrong, that the tickets are auctioned by Amtrak.
Sounds good.USAFLady said:have decided to just buy a ticket.....
If you would like to check out my Website, I have a travelouge about the Empire Builder when I took it.USAFLady said:don't really care about doing the discount thing... rahter know all things firm.... now if someone could just talk to me about the ride from minn to mot..... with pictures
Very good point. :lol: Well, I was up till about 3am that night. So I can tell you a good part of the trip. It isnt really open, vast, land. It is more little towns every 20 miles or so. The track is rough. You should expect a few more bumps then usual throughout the night but nothing drastic. There is also quite a bit of freight traffic. So during the night you might hear the rumble of a few freights passing by the windows.USAFLady said:have you done the minn to minot thing? pictures? I went to that other tavelogue.... they woke up in minot.... doesn't help me.....
No problem.USAFLady said:thank you.......*S*
Thank you!USAFLady said:Amtrak... nice pictures, and web site....
