    My partner and I traveled on the Empire Builder train that you guys where on, but traveled in the opposite direction from Seattle to Chicago in May this year on our vacation from Australia. We had a bedroom compartment same as you guys. We showered in the shared bathrooms at the end of the carriage as they are a lot bigger. Had a great time as you get to see lots of the countryside rather than fly over it. Did other trains as well. Seems you guys enjoyed yourselves and your Vlog shows there are more ways to travel long distances other than planes or drive. Thanks again.

      I so love to do that, I have a friend that lives in NY city and relatives in upstate NY. I've driven Cross country and back once with my brother when I was 19 to go to the Carlisle Chrysler auto show. It was fun, but I've never done it by train. I always thought it would be fun.

    I think you guys are so cool. If I only could have been as lucky as Brett to find such a nice younger guy like you, and you to find such the great guy that he is. I like younger guys, but I was never lucky in meeting anyone. I’m older than Brett, and coming out when I was his age just wasn’t near as acceptable as it is now. Let alone you guys age difference. Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s great. But people years ago, had a completely different mindset. I am so jealous of you two. Looks like such a fun trip. Stay safe guys.

It looked kind of cramp or it may have been cozy. Only you can confirm. I see you were able to get into the lower bunk together. It would have been great to keep each other warm.😜 The observation car looked like a great place to hang out. The food looked good too. I hope the experience compensated for the value of the train over taking a plane. Thanks for posting the vlog.👍😊

    While I enjoyed driving across America during the summer months, I found riding on a train across America with Amtrak more enjoyable, especially during the winter months not having to deal with icy and snowy roads. Doing both you actually do see America you don't when you fly above it usually over the clouds. I encourage those that do it non stop to do stop a few times along the routes and spend a night at a small town bed and breakfast near the small town railroad depots. Spend the day in the small town museums/shops, or spend the day if only at the local fishing hole, you will enjoy spending a day there. When I ride through these small towns I wish I could spend a day there, well, do... Doesn't matter which small town, any will do the trick...

    Taking the train allows you to actually see more of America, versus flying over and looking at clouds. That small settlement you passed with the farm house and the church at the 9:38 mark was beautiful. A part of America’s past that’s disappearing. You need to try the auto train next time. You arrive in Florida at 9 am with your car. It’s a great ride.
