Hi guys, new member from Australia.
Just found the forums due to an upcoming Feb ski trip to Big White, Canada and Heavenly, Nevada. We have 12 days in between ski jaunts and didn't want to do the Vegas/Disneyland thing with our travelling/skiing partners (my wifes sister and her husband and their children and grandkids).
We then decided to see a bit of countryside. My wife is an airline employee, so the 3 times we have visited the US previously we have just flown all the way to NY and taken domestic flights from there.
This is the plan
17th Feb: LAX - CHI - BOS arriving on the 20th.
22nd: BOS - NOL
25th: NOL -CHI
27th: CHI - RNO
It appears that a USA railpass will be a good option, but it will probably need me to make a phonecall because I don't want to buy the pass online and then find out there are no seats available for 'Railpass' customers because the schedule is fairly tight and not particularly flexible.
We intend getting a roomette for all overnight legs, which brings me to my question. I have read thru many many pages of threads which has broadened my knowledge massively, but was unable to find any specifics about the legroom issue in the daytime config of the roomette.
Put simply, can two adults (5'11 and 5'4) sit opposite each other in the daytime without banging knees???
