[QUOTE]Originally posted by Drjuli: [QB] Well either PRJ topics have fallen way off or I'm so new to this that I can't find the right section! Anyway, I read the comments about the Pullman rail and don't ever hear anyone commenting on riding. It's great- we've ridden it twice-NB both times. First time was in June of this year- there were 4 in our group and a total of 12 on the trip. The double bedrooms were roomier than anything Amtrak and the food,drinks, and overall service was superb. The food was not gourmet but it was cooked to order and fresh and an assortment of meats veggies and desserts. On time arrival with a good hearty breakfast as we rolled through the last 40-50 miles. The second trip was in mid August - a guys trip up from New Orleans to see a baseball game. My friends were not seasoned train travelers but they were very impresses with the service. Lunch as we left New Orleans was soups and several different sandwiches; dinner was when we wanted it and our total group of 10 all had drinks and dinner(steak,fish,or chicken) and were finishing up with coffee and dessert about 830pm. It's a little pricey but it is so civilized and unrushed. Flying Southwest ,United or anyone is anything but civilized or unrushed. There is a trip planned early November w musicians etc on board. Wish I could book- offering a discount of 30% I believe. Mr GBN on several occasions bashes New Orleans -- I'll bet you haven't given it a try. The food and cuisine and the dining experience is different than anywhere else and in a good way. The crab, shrimp, fish and oyster dishes are dependably excellent. A recent Sunday lunch at Mandina's was just devine. It is of course smaller than Chicago and cities like that but it has plenty to offer and that's excluding Bourbon street. Thanks for listening J.Mullins Baton Rouge Forgot to mention but the Adirondack club was our observation car on both trips- no Dome diner. Adirondack is bright and airy car and could double as a mid train club car back in the day. [/QB][/QUOTE]
