I saw that "JamesWhitcombRiley" responded already and he did a good job explaining the setup. The GL-iNet Spitz AX (GL-X3000) is not a cell phone but a 5G cellular modem/router/Wi-Fi unit. The Waveform Quad Mini is an omnidirectional antennae which is designed to be attached to various...

With most of the providers on their newer plans roaming in Mexico and Canada is included, so no extra roaming charges. Older plans generally did not include roaming in Mexico and Canada.

I am a 3rd generation Floridian and ime folks from the Cleveland area tend to go to two places in Florida, the snowbirds tend to either go to the Tampa area or the Southeastern Florida counties of Palm Beach and Broward and younger families either go to Orland for theme parks or to visit the...

A buddy of mine from my undergrad days, designs coffee machine for BUN and I have tried liquid concentrate coffee at his house and my unrefined palette could not tell the difference between it and ground coffee. With that said, he has said that it needs to be a quality liquid coffee of which...

My wife needed to be on a conference call while she was on the train, timing was just bad as normally it could wait till she arrived. Anyway, a neighbor of mine is a regional engineer for T-Mobile. He suggested a setup to give us the best chance of good coverage and speeds. A GL-iNet GL-X3000...

To my mind, clothing should not dictate how food is served. Panera manages to serve on dishware and offer metal cutlery. Folks wear whatever to Panera. I get your point, but I am not sure that it applies in 2024.

There is an AVIS at the Brightline Station in West Palm which is roughly 10 mins by foot. However, I think that location is for Brightline passengers only. Otherwise, the nearest car rental location are at PBI (West Palm Beach International Airport) which is a car ride away.

I have absolutely no idea about the person who originally wrote the rumors about the Avelia Liberty launch. What I can say is that I fly a fair amount and I have learned that whatever the crew says is generally not reliable when it comes to internal company thinking. It is possible that the...

The meals my wife and I ate were by a company called Factor. I just Googled them and they are owned by HelloFresh (which is a German company).

Neighbors of mine order from an online meal delivery company that ships microwave meals ready to eat in 2-3 mins. They recently went on vacation and forgot to pause their order. They called me from the airport and told me to grab their order when it arrives and enjoy it with their compliments...

I can say that the Auto Train is generally clean, they seem to always wash trains in Sanford.

Again, I am far from an expert, but if my seatmate was accurate in what she said, Amtrak could serve better meals with less employees if they went with an airline in-flight caterer. She said that any in-flight caterer could provide meals which are pre-plated, visually appealing and taste good...

I will add one further thought, a while ago (I may have even posted here about it, I cannot remember), I sat next to a woman on American Airlines in First Class who said that she worked in middle management at LSG SkyChefs (iirc). She said that she and her husband had recently ridden Amtrak and...

It was years ago now, maybe circa 2006, GateGourmet provided the Acela FC meals. I remember seeing a GateGourmet employee delivering the food the train.

That has not been my experience with Acela First Class meals. They are more akin to an airlines First Class meals than a Flex meal which seems a big step down from either an airline First Class meal or an Acela First Class

Ime my very limited experience in the dinning car, service is generally good, better than some of the First/Business class UNITED and American Airlines flight attendants who I have compared to fire breathing dragons. Heck, it was a number of years ago now, I was flying United Airlines in their...

I used to order the Black Bean Burger with cheese and bacon. The looks I would get from the Amtrak staff was priceless.

I noticed that they removed Woodford Reserve, don't remember if Maker's Mark was there before or not.

Hollerbachs is just ok IMHO, it used to be good prior to it becoming an institution. Now it feels more like a commissary than a restaurant. My wife and I prefer Tennessee Honey, Colorado's Steakhouse and The District. Henry's Depot is fun too

That brought back memories of my time riding trains in India. My wife and I rode the Mahajara Express and the Deecan Odyssey and those were impressive trains with impeccable service and food. Indian railway was pretty good too, while the food was not fancy by any means, if one likes Indian...
