I brought my own food, since I know that train food is overpriced. Also, the dining car was closed most of the time. The scenery is nice, but I can't look at it long without wrecking my neck, since it's always on the same side. The trains were quite full, so I couldn't change sides every few minutes. This NASFiC is of course on con standard time, so nothing is going on before 10 am, which is why at the moment I'm wasting my time on the Internet instead of participating. The hotel has an Internet station, which is nice. But it doesn't have clocks in the sleeping rooms, or exhaust vents in the sleeping rooms' bathrooms. I did figure out how to get the time from the room's TV. And some rooms (not mine) face a nearby clock tower. -- Keith F.
