[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] MGT, with the new e-ticketing, I think you can book pretty easily and retrieve the e-ticket from the computer, but I could be wrong about what goes on when booking from the UK. I would advise getting a bedroom on the 2nd floor rather than the family room, personally. Downstairs has poor views and a more fuel-y smell. The bedrooms have their own toilet and shower. But they are pricey! Of course, I have known some folks who slept 3 in a roomette, with children, but that involves sharing a small bunk bed, which can be very difficult. When I travel with a friend, we get TWO roomettes, but with children the age of yours, that is not an option. I will post separately on some things to do in NYC, DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Vancouver, Jasper, and Toronto when I have a chance. Keep in mind, though, that stopping off the Canadian will be tricky because it does not run every day. Also, I see some folks have mentioned a stop in Sacramento. May I say I definitely prefer San Francisco LOTS over Sacramento! Also, Sacramento can be very hot in summer. However, for a rail fan like your son, the California train museum in Sacramento may be a treat. I suppose what you might do is take the Zephyr as far as Sacramento and do an overnight there, then catch a Capitol Corridors down to San Francisco after lunch the next day. Keep in mind that the Zephyr is often quite late, so don't plan on doing much when you get in--and perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised. Then the next morning you can see the rail museum before heading to SF. On the other hand, your kids will probably like the cable cars in San Francisco, and there is a museum for that there!
