Hiya guys & gals,
Yay! I'm so excited! March, 08, 2003 is the date that me and my mother will be departing for Las Vegas, NV via Needles, CA. We will be leaving Boston's South Station at 9:50AM, and arriving into Las Vegas, NV at 4:45AM, via a connection with the Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach Service, i.e. Commuter Carriers.
We're staying seven nights, but want to be prepared for our tarin trip as best we can. I have a scanner I want to bring with me, but I am not exactly sure which frequencies to "plug-in" to my scanner, either for the LSL or SC.
We are taking Deluxe Bedroom (letter B as in Bob) on the Viewliner, and Deluxe Bedroom (letter E as in Eric) on the Superliner. I just hope I get a Super. 2.
So, any hints, tips, or some last minute suggestions are welcomed. The more, the better. I was thinking of bringing my own food on board the train, to be a little economical (I mean, I'm going to lose it anyways I think, at the slots, lol :lol: ), but I'm not planning on bringing a lot of food either.
I'm really looking forward to the first half of the trip between say Bos-Cleveland. I am not afraid to admit though, that I'm deathly afraid of crossing Sandusky Bay though, so when I get to that point, if I'm too wound up to be sleeping, then I think I'll just close my eyes real tight and just close the curtain too.
I am aware that there can be high winds across the bay as the train goes over the narrow section of track steadily, which can sometimes add to the sway. yes, I know what your going to say. The LSL does it everyday, going over it I mean. But I'm not on it on all the other days. :unsure: :blink:
Oh well, I think it'll be great, but I'm not expecting too much in the form of Customer Service, in though were in first class. First class on the LSL will be wayyyy different than on the SW Chief from what I gather.
So, wish me luck. I'll post a travellogue if I can manage a tranquelizer before I go. :lol: :lol: TTYGS!
