  • I woke up on the first day of a weeklong vacation with nothing planned-so on a whim I booked myself on a 30-hour Amtrak train ride from New York to New Orleans (I posted about it here: www.danicalo.co.... Here’s what it was like! Plus a room tour of my hotel room at the Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria New Orleans.

    Danica, As a frequent rider on Amtrak I must say you seemed to have it all together. I try to get a deluxe sleeper if I can. It has it's own shower and toilet in the room, way cool! As I am over 70 now for me this is the only way to go. Last year we went from Milwaukee to New Orleans on the City of New Orleans. I hope you got a chance to see some of the sights in New Orleans. We took in the the WW2 Museum while we were there, also the Aquarium. Both we very exciting. Great narrative BTW. Thanks for the tour of the train and the hotel. And thank you for sharing your trip.

      The new Viewliner sleepers that are entering the fleet to join the older ones don't have the toilet in the Roomette. I never used mine, I used the public one at the end of the car.

    Wow, a transcontinental train trip, with a transfer in New Orleans. That would gave been so cool , if It hadn't been sold out. Amtrak is my favorite form of long distance transportation. Rather than flying , and seeing clouds most of the way, you get to see the transition between the various regions of the country. 👍👍🚄🚂

    You really did a great job on this, Danica. Very well produced, entertaining and informative. I'm thinking of this trip so I appreciated your experience. We took the Caledonian Sleeper (aka The Deerstalker) from London to Inverness and absolutely loved it. Happy travels.

    If you know ahead of time that you want to travel by train (and especially if you can be flexible as to when you travel), try AmSnag (Google "AmSnag" for the link to the site), which can look up all the possible train fares (both coach and sleeping car) from point A to point B for a period of 1-30 days. It's kind of like those travel "shopbot" websites for airfares and hotel rooms, but for train trips. (Not quite as fancy yet, though.)

    you rode on a sleeper cart … i just did this ride in coach and it was hell … do NOT attempt this long ride in coach .. i was sick for 2 weeks when i got home.. probably from the filthy stinky bathrooms .. and i couldnt sleep because some crazed chick was kicking the back of my sons chair ( she was thrown off the train) and people just talked all night

    • @ronclark9724
      @ronclark9724 4 роки тому +3

      Prices vary considerably with all transport options, cruises, airlines, buses, and trains. Much depends upon the day of the week of the trip, how early you book, how full the train is, whether school is in session, and whether the trip is during busy holidays. Check out Amtrak's website and use several days for the best price...
