I don't know what that means (Cardinal). Are you referring from ORD-CHI? I just figured the blue line is the way to go/what I've done in the past. If it's on the outbound I'm HOM-CHI-SFC. Or are you coming from somewhere else? It's late, I'm tired, so might be missing something.

Thanks for heads up on pizza.

On a dif note. Still watching blogger videos & at this point, kind of familiar with things & also getting confused on things.

* Metropolitan Lounge - has showers? If so, given I have a 5-hour layover on outbound might shower there assuming showers at ML bigger than on train, which might reduce one shower time (tiny stall) on the train.

* Does the attendant...

a) make the bed at night,
b) put it back into seat in the morning,
c) does both or either a or b, or
d) am I doing both, or a or b?

A couple of the videos show you how to pull out the seats to make bed, but others & some posts here make it sound as though the attendant does it. So now confused on if i'm doing the bed or attendant is.

* Sounds like I need to do a Best Buy run? One outlet, but if have multiple devices to charge, get something that can do more than one.

* One video I watched shows the roomette as really small (obviously smaller than bedroom). Is there room for roll-aboard in the roomette if it's just me, or am I going to have to schlep to where i'd put it with other luggage like on HOM to try & get clothes each day?

I really don't want to have to go somewhere else to get clothes to change into. I'm not a backpack gal. Obviously this is more important than the shower! My plan right now is laptop case & roll-aboard.

Trip is getting closer. I'm getting more excited & trying to get info/remember everything!

And as always, so appreciate everyone's input!!

Cheers.
