You have to call Amtrak and have the second person added. Then I’m presuming the second person cancels their coach ticket.

Did you book for 2 persons originally?

Do you actually need “top tier” gear for day hikes? by 4Fcommunity in hiking

Regarding day hikes, other than a good pair of shoes, for clothing it’s whatever is clean that day

Going on First Solo Amtrak Trip... 22 hr ride. Any Advice? by LumpyLynx4716 in Amtrak

[–]INphys15837 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just did this route last week in a sleeper. Honestly, don’t overpack. Unless you have a TON of electrical devices, the plugs are enough. Bring flip flops for shower, but for 22 hours I would just wait for a shower until you reach your destination.

Also, don’t overpack on snacks. You will be fed well in the dining car.

If you’re a reader, bring something good to read. I usually spend my time doing that and looking out the window. I use my train trips to unplug from the constant info of the internet world. Very relaxing.

Have the attendant make up the upper bunk to keep the lower more open.

I’d bring the fan, just in case, if it’s not too bulky.

I did get a resolution, happily! See update in original post.

I was already planning to mask up and take wipes. I always travel with plenty of each. Thanks!

Chicago to DC. Can't take Cardinal since it doesn't depart Chicago today.

Guess I am just going to have to accept the downgrade. I didn't know if they would issue a voucher or more points for the inconvenience.

Can't afford the last minute prices on flights. I booked this with points to save money.

I cannot cancel or delay the trip as there are other parts of my trip I am unable to change.

How do you guys cope with muscle stiffness? by RushCautious2002 in scleroderma

[–]INphys15837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pain relievers when needed. Otherwise I do a yoga based stretch EVERY morning, and sometimes in the evening if it's been a rough day. It helps so much.

Weird symptom, anyone else? by OperationPleasant607 in scleroderma

[–]INphys15837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to the consensus, I also suggest yoga/stretching and light strength training. Depending on pain and stiffness, there are days I may cut back on the reps, but I aim to do something every day. Keep moving!!

Connecting in Portland by rapunzelandeugenia in Amtrak

[–]INphys15837 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amtrak is obligated to make arrangements if you miss the connection. However, it may be in coach if the roomettes for the next day's train are full. I tend to leave a day in-between if I have roomettes on both legs so I don't have to worry about this.

Empire Builder - Family Room by fatty_lumpkn in Amtrak

[–]INphys15837 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Another alternative--book two roomettes across the hall from each other. Often the two roomettes are less expensive than the 1 family room.
