Today will be a first for me.
I will be taking an Amtrak train to California to attend my aunt's memorial service. She passed away on April 4 and, due to COVID-19, her memorial had been delayed until now.
The only trains I've been on in the U.S. were either subway trains or amusement trains (such as the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad). It will be interesting to see how Amtrak compares to trains I've been on in Japan (definitely not as fast as their Shinkansens).
I am not going to bother getting a berth on the sleeper car. If I did, would have visions of Stan and Ollie in Berth Marks (1929).
Sierra will be well taken care of as I have a cat/house sitter during the trip.
