Thanks for the trip report, Kevin. Sounds like Gathering V was a complete success! :)

My apologies, Jishnu. I must have misunderstood when I was told the view was blocked in the center. As I won't be on the dome until the 11/11 run, I'll be quiet :) Mike

Thanks for your input, Alan. So far, it seems that most folks like the Indianapolis. I hope it will be on my next LSL trip. Mike

Thanks for the picture, Alan. Did the diner crew seem to like their new diner? How did you and your tablemates like the new car? Thanks! Mike

Yes, except that at the moment, the center window is painted black. Which isn't really a problem; last year the space between the inner and outer glass was 3/4 full of water :( Mike

Yes on both ;)

Hi Jim! Sorry I'll have to miss the Seattle Gathering, y'all have a good time, and a safe trip. Hopefully we'll meet in PHL next May. Thanks! Mike

Thanks for both reports. One difference in the Skyline vs Park domes, the Skylines have a pair of rear-facing seats and a table at the front,on each side, to make a four-seater. The Park cars do not have this table, only forward facing seats.

To wrap up the trip report: After arriving at PDX, I picked up my tickets and went to the Met Lounge. The attendant suggested having the red cap put my bags directly in my room, and I thought that was a great idea! Once the Red Cap was done with his lunch, he came over and took my luggage...

After landing in Seattle, Rob and I said our goodbyes and I walked over to the Link Station. A 32 minute ride and a short walk, and I was at King Street Station. Saw the agent for my Cascades ticket and seat assignment. Single at a window in BC. Checked my suitcase to PDX, and walked over to...

Day 11 We slept in a little this morning, except for the trash and delivery trucks......We ventured out to the Pioneer Cafe for breakfast, Rob had eggs, hash browns, and toast. I had french toast and reindeer sausage. I thought it tasted like kielbasa, but the waiter said they import 120...

Please feel free to PM either one of us with any questions. We'll have an answer, and it may even be correct :) ! Mike

If you are travelling on the Canadian, yes. You will use the public shower in the adjacient sleeper. If you are on the Ocean, not usually. The next sleeper is a Renaissance car, and each room has it's own shower, or no shower at all. So, unless you are lucky enough to have a helpful attendant...

Good Morning! I have an update to our trip. After our boardwalk,we walked up to the Citadel. The Citadel was the site of a fort in the 1700's, and was in use until the end of WWII. It's a very interesting historic site. The two hours we spent looking around did not do it justice. You could...

And he wants breakfast from the Stage Door Deli ;)

I've been able to drop bags early, and leave them after checkout with no problem at all. The staff at the Metro Plaza seems very accomodating with luggage storage.

I've stayed at the Metro Plaza three times, and have never had a problem walking around the area at that time of night. If you have a good deal of luggage, a cab may be more practical for that reason. If you're more comfortable using a cab, I would consider a decent tip, as I think the fare...

I'm sorry to hear you have to take the dog to get home. Give Customer Relations a call and see about a partial refund for your sleeper. :(
