I'm curious what SLE is like, never having been to Salem nor any reason to go there.
I was last there in the early 90s to visit a friend on New Years Eve. I am returning to view the solar eclipse this year. I never felt like I have missed something in the interim. That was the last time I drank Jagermeister. As I vaguely recall, the Jager self-evacuated before leaving the bar. That is my most foggy vivid memory of SLE.
Nevertheless, my questions regarding the OP are (1) were passengers allowed to disembark; and if so, (2) was there a lounge available; and if so, (3) was there a sign out restricting access to PP members due to overcrowding?
