There is an App called “ Find Your Way”. For your phone which will navigate you through Penn Station.

I left out Montreal to NYP on the Adirondack. Get to Quebec City on the Caribbean Princess. Interesting indeed! Thanks!

I have no problem with your viewpoint re having to pay for food you aren’t going to eat or an arbitrary cost of food in the ticket price. They are both good points and I am not and was not trying to convince you otherwise. Thank you for responding and setting forth your thoughts. They are...

My wife and I are on three VIA trains next month all business class and have assigned seats on al (Quebec City to Ottawa, Ottawa to Brockville, and Brockville to Montreal. Not only that but the agent asked me if we wanted front facing seats and arranged for us to be assigned to front facing...

I’m not sure why you think that the meals should not be included in the price for a sleeper. If the food & beverage portion of the ticket price were properly allocated, it would, I believe, make it much easier to cover the cost of the f&b service (I know, I’m beating a dead horse to death)!

The British system is quite different from the US. Some years ago while discussing the US system with UK bankruptcy practitioners , I mentioned that the US system protects the debtor. They were astonished and exclaimed:”Why would you do that?” I responded by reminding them that a lot of us...

Ryan: That’s a good question. One would have to examine the accounting to know for sure. I have been told by several knowledgeable folks that they use the meal tickets and count as revenue the amount the sleeper passenger would have paid. I don’t know if this is true but, as I pointed out...

Been there, love Grease! Not a vegan thing but for others ....

At the risk of being repetitious, all the attention is being focused on the cost of F&B service and no attention to revenue. When you purchase a sleeper ticket, the meals are not free, you have paid for them. Actually, you pay for the number of meals which will be served on the trip...

I have the same problem. The videos are in a separate area when I try to post and do not show up. I’m sure that there are many out there who can educate us!

Here is the problem: when you are traveling with someone (I.e. my wife) and get on the train and every seat in the cars are all taken by one person with their stuff spread out and you can’t find a seat together. People ignore you and most of the car attendants make themselves scarce because...

Public work in the US requires a bid bond to bid and a performance and payment bond for the final contract. Typically in Europe public work only requires a 10% bond. The bonding requirement not only protects the owner from defaulting contractors and assures subcontractors and suppliers that...

Great movie. I was involved in the approval process for the environmental bond which was needed to cover any potential environmental damage caused by the filming in the keys.

We stayed there too. Liked the hotel and was very walkable in the daytime. Taxi at night. Liked the “Little Tokyo” area also.

I got my notice about “ flexible dining” on the Crescent next month. They make a big point about getting “room service@ if you want it as if that wasn’t always an option.

We always stay in Marathon when in the Keys and just visit KW.

Gates can’t stop people from doing stupid things. My wife and I were facing North on Dixie Hey in Boca Raton at the intersection with Palmetto Park when the gates came down for the crossing at Palmetto Park. While we were stopped waiting to make a left turn onto Palmetto Park, a car came down...

Super report. We did the trip the other direction and it was so great it got us riding trains whenever we can. We didn’t do the Prestige (didn’t know about it), but had access to a “Dome” car and never had a problem finding s seat. We really enjoyed Halifax also. Thanks for putting so much...

I had s similar experience on The Canadian. From Jasper to Winnipeg, we had a great crew and my car attendant was superb. With the change in Winnipeg, I rarely saw the attendant but the rest of the crew was great. Interestingly, the lounge attendant ran a tab for me for drinks and we settled...

While there is a lot of discussion, rightly so, about bizarre slight of hand allocation of costs, the allocation of revenue is just as bad, ie - F&B revenue! ( my favorite gripe).
