Half a day trip, can't see outside for shit and Amtrak's shitty wifi doesn't work. SO is with me but is asleep. Over halfway through.

You don't have a 3DS or Switch?

Seems that would be the perfect time to catch up on some handheld gaming.

I used to just listen to hip hop or read on long bus rides.

Got both, left my 3DS at home but don't feel like playing my Switch at the moment. My launch model Joycons got bad drift so I can't really fully enjoy technical games even if I really wanted to. Not really into hip hop, but I don't really hate it either.

I have never ridden on a train before. I would love nothing more than to go cross country on a train.

Do they even do fancy train rides across the country any more? Im talking nice sleeper cars, dinner space to walk around.

I think some railways might still do cross country, not sure as this isn't something I do often either. There are sleeper cars with rooms but they are way more pricey than business class. There is a dinning car on this train but it's pretty pricey for what it offers and the food isn't great from what I remember.

Only reason I'm really here is because I haven't seen my folks since a bit before pre pandemic times and they are getting on in the years so it would be best to go back home and see them. Going to do some sightseeing as well though.

Where are you from? After fucking with the MTA, LIRR and Metro North for decades, a quiet night trip sounds amazing.

Amtrak is the only intercity passenger rail in the continental US.
