Thank you kja,tower, norman, fainaagain and Marc for all of the very helpful information.
The only reason I was considering a night train was that I had read on this forum and on Thorntree(another forum) that people had enjoyed it. Kja and Tower, thank you for the comments, I will consider changing to a day train. I have reserved the Holiday Inn near the airport for the night of June 10th and they have a shuttle to the airport. The Novatel which is closer is already filled. Thanks for the holiday info. Marc and Norman I will email you directly for a few more questions. Many thanks ...johanna
