I'm leaving tomorrow at 0'dark hundred, and I've decided not to bring my laptop with on the trip.
I wouldn't be able to use it for long on the train (from what I've read) and that's the only sizable piece of time I expect to spend just sitting. I'm really hoping that I can fill out all of the rest of my brief stay in Chicago with visiting people.
And if people aren't available, a trip to the Zoo or the Botanical Gardens would be an acceptable substitute. Sitting at the apartment reading email, just, isn't.
So I'll have email until tonight, but I will check in here now and again from my MiL's machine.
A couple of people responded about getting together, but there's no set plans other than the picnic on Saturday. How about Dim Sum in Chinatown on Sunday? How about Tokyo Marina on Monday?
Or you can ring my cell at 206-390-0768, and we'll set something up at the time.

Each car has two outlets, hidden somewhere obscure (I found one behind a switch panel in the alcove between the cars). There is an outlet in each bathroom, and one next to the exit door.
So your choice, if you need a few minutes of power, is to stand prominently in the way, or hog one of the few shared-by-many-people bathrooms.
I forgot to ask if the sleeping cars have an outlet. The advert for them doesn't mention one.
