I am SO JEALOUS! It has been an unfulfilled dream of mine to take a long-distance Amtrak trip in one of those little bedroom-thingies! I looked into it years ago and it was just too expensive for me . I don't know if I'd want to go coach and sleep in my chair though - could be pretty embarrassing when I start snoring, talking in my sleep, God knows what else !

I took a train from Cambridge to London when I was visiting my sister in England, so that was pretty fun, and I have taken the Amtrak just from one side of Wisconsin to the other. Sigh....

I'm trying to get the 15th off of work so I can go to the Pet Show in Arlington Heights, but I have to find someone to switch shifts with. If we go, we're taking the Amtrak from Milwaukee to Chicago and then the Metra from Chicago to Arlington Heights, to satisfy my train fetish.
