A lot, it turns out.
Due to extreme flooding along the route of the Seattle-Chicago Empire Builder, the train has been cancelled for "at least a month," according to an Amtrak agent I spoke to. That train, of course, was a key part of our itinerary. We've been re-routed, but it's screwing some things up. We won't be staying in Chicago, and we'll be getting in to Toronto a day later than planned. All things considered, not too bad- but we also have to look forward to 5 days straight in coach. We also have nowhere to stay in Seattle, where we now have to overnight. (I'm working on getting compensation from Amtrak.)
I'll let you know how things turn out.
