Looks like we my yet get to Boston tonight and a bit sooner than we thought we might. Amtrak managed to get us onto another Boston bound train and if things go smoothly we may arrive only an hour and a half later than the original schedule!
Living in an Amtrak roomette makes us appreciate how palatial our T@B is. In our roomette we have two seats that convert into a lower bunk, an upper bunk that raises up to the ceiling when not in use, and a half bath all packed into about twenty-one square feet. It's...
