[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Ms. Karen, I too am astounded at the "need" for all this ancillary stuff. By now, you are aware and accept, even though traveling Sleeper for any overnight segments, that you and the kids are embarking on an "indoor camping adventure" and you will be roughing it (remember Coach is simply "subhuman" if you ask me). If you wanted creature comforts guaranteed, you would fly point to point (also subhuman; but with that, in six hours or less it's "over and done") and would stay at "three stars" (a major brand chain above their "econobrand" offering; i.e. for Marriott; Courtyard and up, but not Fairfield) or higher. To Mr. Vincent, do you think you need an additional wristwatch beyond that you normally wear? Further, I seem to be on an overnight train every year (mostly Auto Train) and I'm not about to carry all that stuff. If you must, an Advil PM or other med with small amount of Diphenhydramine will do wonders for you (the kids; what do they care?). And finally, about a need for a "shot"; even though I've never traveled about with small children (never married in this life; maybe the next), I can understand a reluctance in the Diner as it falls on you to "keep 'em in check". However in the confines of your Bedroom, why not? Even though when on Auto Train, there is all "the comp" you can responsibility drink, I find what Amtrak sells "by the half" (US$15) to be quite drinkable. The Sleeper Attendant will even fetch it for you (h/sh/e'd like a tip). But it should be noted that away from AT, I [URL=http://www.railforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/11/5432.html] "pack my own"[/URL]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
