There are so many 'best parts' it's hard to narrow it down to one. Many of my 'best parts' have already been mentioned. I would say the low stress to actually board the train is high on the list. :D My hubby always says 'your vacation begins when you board, not when you arrive'! :cool: I...

Try here. Scroll down to the third page for the map.

You can still post there. I have in the past.

Here are some more pictures posted today on Facebook.

Some companies charge a 'singles fee' such as the Rovos train, some cruise ships and tours too. I think they call it a 'single supplement'.

:giggle: Saw that one the news last week. You know what they say, when you gotta go, you gotta go! :giggle:

I just did a quick search for pets on trains, with some surprising results: Here. Here. And here. It seems that depending on where you go and what train you take, there can be lots of rules and sometimes extra expenses involved to bring your pet.

Just last week a dog escaped it carrier and was on the tarmac for quite a while before the owner was able to coax it back into the carrier. As I said before, I sometimes think about taking my pet, but I'm being selfish when I do. He may not enjoy it as much as I want him along. I have taken him...

I think the biggest problems would be the allergy risk and safety issues/risks of bites, etc. Also sound factor-as long as the pet isn't barking/meowing/whining/screeching. That is an unpredictable factor-you can't guarantee your pet will be quiet, any more than someone can guarantee a baby...

I'm fairly excited to see the King Street Station-we'll be visiting it in early July for the first time!

As a pet owner, sometimes I think it would be nice to take my Blue and Gold Macaw with me. Then I realize he may not like it, and would probably make everyone miserable if I could bring him. I know your trip is fairly short, but on long distance trains it can be up to an 8 hour time span between...

Here is the article. Looks like the new ticketing and baggage area opened yesterday!

It is kind of weird that you cannot 'share' the meal with a coach passenger, but I do understand that it could be considered 'lost revenue'. I do know that I called a while back about adding a small child into our bedroom reservation, and was told it was fine and the child would get meals, too...

Here is a diagram of the sleeper cars. If you look at the Superliner, you will the location of 'C' Bedroom. Just remember, the bedrooms will be to the left at the top of the stairs. We haven't been in 'C' yet, but will be soon. I'm sure it will just fine. We have ridden in 'E' and 'D', and...

I have seen changing tables in a Superliner Sleeper Restroom upstairs, across from the coffee station. If there isn't one in the coach you're in, maybe ask the Coach Attendant if there is one in another car that you could use. Have a wonderful trip!

More Sleeper Cars on each route!!! I would like to see better linens & better 'mattress pads' in the sleepers, maybe memory foam? Maybe add a real small fridge in the bedrooms (behind the mirror?) I would love it if the bottom bed was larger, but I know that's asking alot, there isn't much...

We didn't have any issues last time. But that was three years ago. We stayed right near the train, by our sleeper car. We lived in Reno many decades ago. It was a 'interesting' place. I didn't like it much at all. :ohboy:

:giggle: The aforementioned 'candles', are in fact, battery operated. I would personally prefer real, but the fakies will do.

Another way to pull this off could be to write a note for your Sleeping Car Attendant with your requests, then slip it to him/her upon boarding. You know your Lady best, does she like Strawberries and Chocolate? If so, get a basket of Strawberries, wash them, (leave stems on) and some Hershey's...

Please see my edited post....Reno is on the schedule, but no 'arrive/depart' time, like you would see if it was a refresh stop. Last time we took the CZ, we stopped there for about 30 minutes. I'm referring to the actual stop as in a refresh stop like the SLC stop.
