[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came down with norovirus on an Amtrak from NY to DC and had to hug that bowl the whole way.  Can you imagine the horror?[/quote]

What is it about the NY to DC Amtrak? Years ago I woke up in the early morning in our NYC hotel room not feeling the best, but eventually fell back to sleep. DH and I wake up later and I explain that I am clearly under the weather. Our kids are 2 and 3 and starting to clamor to get their day on. He takes them out with his dad, tells me he will meet me at the station, and his mom comes to help me pack. While I am clearly struggling, she loads me into a cab, gets in herself, and after six blocks asks the cabby to let her out so she can go back to her friends.

I drag all our luggage into Penn Station - how I did this, I can no longer remember. I make it down the escalator and start to cross the huge floor. I realize I can no longer fight the nausea and ask an Amtrak worker for the closest bathroom. He gestures broadly and tells me, "Lady, they are all over here." I promptly drop the luggage handles and run ten feet over to a garbage can to puke. Felt satisfying after the guy's brusqueness, even if I would have probably not made it to a bathroom.[/quote]
