Inside the Parlour Car

When we opted for the roomette on the Amtrak train, we were surprised to find that we then became first-class passengers, with access to these comfy velvet swivel chairs and private dining tables.  Not quite the Orient Express, but a whole lot better than sleeping all knotted up in the coach seats.  I am still vibrating from the twenty-hour ride, and I feel the train whistle deep in my bones.
