Well, the longer section of our train trip is over now, and we’re back down to sitting with the ordinary people (as soon as we’re out of the First Class Lounge, that is). The first half saw us bumped up to First Class, which gave us a sleeper room, albeit not one of those with its own bathroom. We enjoyed quite a few naps, but no real sleep, as our train was constantly trying to make up for having waited for several freight trains. We didn’t ever quite make up the time, and arrived here in Chicago about 2 hours late. What this means for us is that our layover is a bit shorter (thankfully), but that time for checking email is awfully short!

This time tomorrow evening we’ll be in New York, looking for a cab to take us to the airport. There we’ll sleep, have decent showers (without time limits), and have another chance to catch up on email. Oh – and to perhaps consider buying new suitcases, as our mismatched assortment of various bags has gotten upon our last nerves, and we really do not want to lose anything.

So, perhaps another post tomorrow evening, but for now we’re off in search of something decent in the way of food, and then … to just sit, waiting for our bodies to stop humming from three days on the train!
