[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Scott, the food's much better these days. Nothing to write home about, but it's palatable and sometimes quite good -- a lot depends on the chef. Everyone will tell you: DO NOT HAVE THE SPECIAL. The styrofoam plates are gone, replaced by much sturdier (and more aesthetic) hard plastic plates. If you are a wine lover you might want to bring along a bottle or two of your favorite plonk, for consumption in the privacy of your sleeper room. Ask the sleeper attendant for a bucket of ice if you need to chill the wine (and give him a decent tip). If you are a reader, bring a book or two. If you are not a reader, then a portable DVD player and a few movies would be suitable. If you are neither, head for the lounge car and strike up conversations if you are gregarious. I'm not sure about the little dainty plastic coffee cups. They may be bigger than they were in the 1990s. I haven't really noticed. Crews are better than they used to be, especially since Congress passed the Lott/Lautenberg act and Bush signed it -- morale has improved. You will still encounter the lazy and the clueless, although they are fewer and farther between, at least in my experience. EHBowen's right about the electric outlet in some of the sleeper rooms -- it is often recessed. But you may not need to bring a bulky power strip; I use a common $1.49 plastic three-outlet plug available at hardware stores. [/QB][/QUOTE]
