There's no chance Amtrak is going to sell my space to someone else before I print the tickets, correct? I don't plan to print them until some time close to departure since I may want to add someone to my room and I've read that is a hassle after printing the tickets.

Now I just need to decide whether to spend a few days in Seattle and fly home or just a day and take the Empire Builder home. This will be my first long distance train trip, and while I think I'm going to love it I'm not sure I should commit to another 2-3 days of train travel before I experience the first 3-4.
