Travel

It went well, but I had a seat mate all the way, which was a drag. Very nice young woman, but i just can't sleep sitting up.

I think there are some things that Amtrak could do on this trips.

A small cart with water, juice, sodas and a few snacks would be nice. The Cafe Car was way, far away and, to be perfectly honest, inhabited overnight with people that were a little sketchy/

And only the largest of stations often any food your could take on board.

They also sell a "comfort kit" in the cafe car, but could probably do very well selling them to seated passenger. They include a small blanket, pillow, eyeshades and ear plugs.

I would have gotten a sleeper but the cost becomes prohibitive when traveling alone. It would be great if there were a way to get one with the understanding that you will probably be assigned a roommate.

But I agree with you about the restrooms!

Hope you have the opportunity to take another trip in the future.
