So the guy at the Amtrak station always makes me feel funny when I stop to pick up my tickets the night before (I’ve already pre-paid them) like I should wait until the next day. But I always think I’ll feel rushed in the morning when I do it. And today I did feel rushed and there wasn’t even a line. I’ll just be getting my tickets in advance next time, it’s just not something I need to have to be concerned about (I’d rather get 5 minutes extra sleep).
They train isn’t too full and I got a seat with power! So that means my laptop is powered and I’m all set for the ride (I can charge my phone as I tether it too).
There are two little girls and a baby in front of me, so I’ve been pretty entertained by them. Although the older ones are already half-asleep
The poor woman behind me wants to go to Hammond (Indiana) but I guess this one doesn’t stop there, the next one does so she’s trying to figure out what to do. I always thought these three trains did the same route all three trips. Now that I’ve checked out the Wolverine Wikipedia entry it still seems like it stops there.
Unfortunately, my return train is already sold out, so that’s gonna be packed. Well, if the last thing I do is roller blade, maybe no one will want to sit next to me :)
Later: This train is starting to fill up.
That’s so cool that there are seats with power. I always wonder why ALL seats don’t have it!
I ask when I board and if that car doesn’t have anything they’ll generally tell me how many cars down I can go.
Although, some of the mean ones won’t tell you :(
And the fruit of your travels is fully exposed! (nice seeing you again!) Clicky me!
