The train from Prince, WV was only about 40 minutes late: much better than I’ve encountered in the past. A different experience riding in our own cabin- steward met us to get on board, set us up and escorted us to the dining car. I won’t say much about “dinner” save to comment that it is Amtrak food. Just bring your own.
Our room is a tiny thing about 4 feet deep. Just barely enough for us to sit in. But it is delightful. It’s quiet and we have our own space and window. At night, Aran had her own bunk up top and me below. While some say the rocking of the train (me, and I heard about it) will send you off to wonderful sleep, it really isn’t restful. I’m giving up sleep for the weekend I see. The rocking is fine, but the starts, stops, bumps, slow downs, speed ups, they don’t do anything for sleep.
Aran seems to truly be having a blast. It’s all very different and new to her (me too). Her delight in all of the little things is the best part of this trip.

While Deep Dish Pizza is a must when visiting the Windy City, it's essential to keep in mind that real pizza is only to be had in NYC and really just the Bronx or Brooklyn.
