Depending on how many holdups Union Pacific subjects the Coast Starlight to (the kind where the train goes on the siding and another passes, not the kind with guys wearing bandannas over their faces), I'll be boarding the train for Seattle in twelve hours or so. I'm very excited. I like trains. This is the first time I've been on an overnight run.
Since this is a long trip and it's also our Anniversary Trip (eleven years married and eighteen years together) we've sprung for a room. I'm sure it's a closet with bunk beds. But who cares? I've seen North by Northwest a hundred times and I'm fine with it. Besides, if we get bored, we can see if someone really can fit in the folded berth just like Cary Grant.
