First stop.

This is cool. Not the part where we are in naperville. The part where we are in the first car behind the engines. I think there are two engines in front and one in the back. I'll verify that later. Here's the view out of or room looking forward.

We meet Brian, our Brian for the trip. (attendant! I heard him introduce himself to the next passengers!) He showed us How to use our light and call button. There are 10 rooms on the top level of the car and only four are occupied. We also have a restroom up  here and a beverage center with coffee and bottled water and juice. The showers are downstairs in the same car. One empty room is being used to store a cooler full of ice. I wonder how long before the coach people in the next car migrate over to car 540 to slurp our coffee. :) that was for you, jp. ;)

Kimmy is our dining cart reservationist. we have to make dinner reservations, but she is starting at the back of the train and won't get to us for awhile. She talked for a long time so we turned down our announcer volume.

I think I might take a little cat nap. Yawn.
