    Tips for sleeping well on Amtrak

    I always bring pillow and blanket. My first trip in a bedroom, I slept in my clothes that I wore to travel, I soon decided to bring soft clothes, like leggings and pj top and I was very comfortable, I do enjoy sleeping on top bunk in bedroom, very soothing. Do y’all change into pajamas at night?

    Do you prefer the upper or lower bed in a Viewliner sleeper?

    I’m 65 and just getting out my own bed is a challenge, I got two steps up, lol so much respect for the 70 year old who can get up to that top bunk

    Do you prefer the upper or lower bed in a Viewliner sleeper?

    Few years back with a sleeper, the upper was awesome as I didn’t have to get up to use the bathroom at night, but now that I’m older and arthritis has set in, I would probably prefer the lower for convience, but I really enjoyed the upper.

    The new Newark Airport Terminal A

    Since I don’t fly can I just go to the airport and drive one of those golf carts around, honking and beeping at folks. Sounds like fun lol

    Although I don’t fly, my hubbie does and he will do anything he can to avoid Atlanta airport, he hates it, too big, my daughter has to fly out of Newark, she is young and will probably be ok

    Crescent at 7 was a good time, we drive from Baton Rouge and getting they traffic is messy, now when the train starts to run from BR to NOL , Crescent leaving at 6 might even be good, that is if that train from BR runs on schedule. But if Crescent does not change food and on time schedule I...

    Crescent schedule change - first time in 50 years!

    I really used to like taking Crescent to Jersey to see my daughter, would get in Atlanta at night, ride all night, and get to see Washington monument over breakfast, would get to Jersey after a little ride, guess now I will have to take a knockout pill and suck it up and ride the plane.

    Why Do You Tip on Amtrak? [Poll]

    I must say when SCA does decent job and it does not have to be exceptional, I do tip,but just because it’s expected and you do nothing, no tip for you.
