Three days of train travel and I am back in Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first two days were from Seattle to Chicago. I had reserved a sleeper. This gives a private compartment with seats during the day. At night the seats fold down and a mattress is placed on top. I can sleep well with a sleeper. Meals are also included. Meals are in the dining car and are “community seating”. That is fun learning about others on the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had an overnight in Chicago and had reserved a hotel close to the train station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Chicago to Austin I had a coach seat. Seats are wider than airline seats. I also didn’t have anyone next to me. I bought meal items from the cafe car instead of eating in the diner. I slept OK but not as well as on the sleeper. However overall it was a relaxing journey to get back to Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am back to work on Monday. So I’ll have some time tomorrow to move a few things from storage. It will be a while before everything is back again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve enjoyed my trip and grateful at AMD for allowing me this trip. It is now time to get back in swing of things in Austin…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
