[QUOTE]Originally posted by ehbowen: [QB] IMO, the south side of the train has a bit better scenery (Salton Sea, Mexican border at El Paso, New Orleans from the Huey Long Bridge). But the scenic highlight (again IMO) is the crossing of the Pecos River high bridge; while it is equally spectacular from both sides of the train the foundations of the original bridge are visible from the north side of the train if you like that sort of thing. The food could be a whole lot better, but it also could be a whole lot worse. It still beats the stuffings out of anything you might be offered on an airliner. Do expect paper cups and disposable plastic plates, but as of last notice they still had real tableware. Do bring a power strip in your carry-on luggage; there is only one outlet in your bedroom and it is semi-recessed and may not hold a "brick" type charging adapter. Duct tape is always recommended, although I have never yet brought (or needed) it. Amtrak does supply soap, towels and washcloths for your on-board shower but if you want shampoo and conditioner, bring your own. I have never traveled in a full bedroom but I understand that the toilet interferes somewhat with the use of the in-room shower; if that is the case you may use the slightly larger communal shower downstairs. Have a great trip! [/QB][/QUOTE]
