    I loved having toilet in my room, I HATE sharing with strangers. When I got into my room, I thoroughly cleaned and sanitized everything and of course I made sure to bring air freshener with me. Happy Birthday young lady, your life is wonderful!

    Your enthusiasm and passion is so contagious!! I have goals of doing some train adventures after my kiddo graduates high school in a couple of years, and seeing you share these trips with us really fires up my desire to take my Amtrak Adventures when I'm an empty nester. As far as I'm concerned, the train trips with the rooms ARE the vacation.

    There are two types of viewliners. The old ones have toilets in the roomettes, but the new ones do not. I get a room because I want a bathroom, and that bathroom is a separate room. I agree that the Traditional Dining, that is mostly on the western half of the US, is much better than the Flex Dining. I would rather spend a little more and get Traditional Dining.
