The delays were caused by the flooding in Iowa. We weren't as upset about the delay as we were in them not telling us there would be a delay. They acted as if it was all a surprise to them but we later found out the train had been delayed every day the week prior. We could have made better connecting arrangements in Chicago had they told us, but they just let us hang. Just like not making the announcement the train was leaving and kidnapping your father the way they did. Amtrak sucks. It was my first and last trip with them.

I thought they must have announced it and maybe my dad didn't hear it... (He does have his tv on awfully loud) but thought Forest, at 12, should have heard it. And four hours late? How long does it even take the train to get to Chicago? That seems really late! Jennifer Micheal,

We heard the train car attendant announce there was an "extra" person aboard who had no ticket and the conductor reply that it was too late to stop the train! We both mentioned this incident was still another reason we won't be riding Amtrak ... they don't announce ANYTHING! Sorry to hear it caused so much trouble for you!

And you are such a good cook. Maybe next week, M will come too. Getting old? Speak for yourself! You used to say bars were too smoky, but now they are too loud? Maybe you just had too much alcohol earlier in the week? Just kidding. I love you. I know I am getting old. I'm impressed you had energy to come to dinner even after all that cooking.
