No Madness in Chicago

[kevin_standlee]

Today is Lisa's final full day in Chicago. She's still very tired and very much wanting to be home. Today she double-checked the route from the hotel to Union Station (there's apparently a lot of road construction in the area). The people with the crying baby and the screaming kids appear to have left, so she was able to get some sleep.

The train from Chicago to Reno leaves Chicago at 2 PM. Lisa thus can check out at her leisure tomorrow morning and head to Union Station, where she can hang out in the comfortable and spacious Metropolitan Lounge until it's time to board. After that, she should be able to relax as it will be only a couple more days before she is home.

If she's awake, I hope Lisa waves as she passes through Omaha. Also hope she has a chance to enjoy some of the beautiful scenery along the CZ route.

I'll mention this to her. I don't remember which side of the train her roomette is on. I hope it's the left side, because then she'll see me as the train passes Fernley.

And the scenery is wonderful. We've now lost track of how many times we have been over the route (I think it's around ten), and I don't think it ever gets old. But at least we have less of a FOMO feeling while traveling over it.
