Thanks again to all who replied. I love this train community. I'm going to stick w/ my Acela plans (this is a milestone trip all the way to South Africa!!) and I'm treating myself all the way, which includes Acela FC. (Yes expectations are low but I've already taken Acela FC before so I know what to expect and I'm looking forward to it.) I want to detrain at NWK and stay in Newark. I'll make my way to EWR for my flight by the next day in due time. Thanks again to all and great to know that I can detrain at NWK with no penalty. Be well everyone!
