I bought an Amtrak USA RailPass for $500. It came out to cheaper than my upcoming round trip to/from New York City. I’m taking the Zephyr to Chicago and then the Lake Shore Limited to New York City. Excited to spend a couple hours traveling down the Hudson on a train. I’ll be going home via New Orleans, where I’m spending 2 nights. Amtrak is having a flash sale until tomorrow, so if you’ve been meaning to book a trip, you should do that now!
This is in edition to the trip I’ve already got planned for my mom’s birthday in March! We’re going to Chicago on the Zephyr, then Portland on the Empire Builder and back to the Bay on the Starlight! This’ll be my first long trip in a roomette, so I’m excited to see how that goes.
