Cool, thanks very much.

We're travelling over Father's Day weekend, in the Summer, so I suspect it might be a bit busier than usual. Just the same, I haven't been on Amtrak in a while and have heard West Coast passenger loads are light.

Hopefully we'll just end up with adjacent seats. If not, I'll try to cajole ($$) someone into switching.

More than a decade ago, we took a trip in a roomette, and he found it confining. Privacy wasn't an issue, esp on such a short trip.

As far as dining, you can still opt to go to the "nice" dining car provided you pay out of pocket, right?

Thanks for all the help.
