Pontiac IL to Fort Worth TX round trip on the Texas Eagle

[MccfamschoolMom]

We moved where we were sitting from near the station entrance to near the Amtrak window. An Amtrak employee approached us just now and asked our destination. When we told her, she immediately offered to take us to the train on the shuttle. How considerate!

Just left Fort Worth TX, and we have SCA Andre again! Our bedroom this time has a wiggly jump seat. Waiting to make our dinner reservation. Debating whether or not to walk to the dining car. The hubby would like to have it delivered to the room. We compromised: if we have supper delivered tonight, we will walk to the dining car for breakfast tomorrow.

Supper was delivered at about 6PM. The hubby ordered the butter chicken, which was the only dinner option we hadn't yet tried. The sauce was both sweet and spicy, and the rice tasted better than the cilantro rice which came with my salmon. I saw the coffee urn was still going when I threw out our supper trash; however, I found out the hard way that only the dregs were left. . A fresh pot was made soon afterwards, though, and it tasted much better.
Waiting for the beds to be made up now. Will ask for blankets, as we don't plan to use the top bunk.

Too bad you aren't able to utilize the upper bunk.
