    One day when you guys get older, you'll look back on this video, and it will feel as if no time has passed. That's the vibe I am getting. And that's the kind of relationship I want one day.
    Thank you for sharing these precious moments.

    i had never noticed how much i had overlooked the beauty of moss my whole life until i started gardening and especially when i tried making a terrarium. My mum told me the same since i had forced her into helping me look for moss from rocks. Now wherever we go we point out moss to each other

    You two could do a multi part series on this and I would've watched the entire thing.
    As someone who lives in Vancouver, it always makes me happy to see someone enjoying the NW. It rains a lot, we definitely have our problems, but having access to Dense forests, Mountains and Beaches all just about 2 hours away from each other as well as a diverse culinary scene is cool and unique.
    Thank you for visiting!

    I no longer fly because I love train rides. There's something peaceful and recluse about train riding, which is why I go by train every quarter to visit family. It's almost 30 hours one way for me. The train is nowhere as clean and updated like yours, though..wow!

    This is such a beautiful, heartwarming video. Loved it from getting onto the train, to the beautiful cozy Elle’s apartment. I recently traveled on the Texas Eagle 21’s Rommette. And, although the views were not as beautiful as yours, it was so cozy and quiet. I am jealous you two have each other to enjoy, I went on a 30 hour trip from Chicago to Texas by myself, not as fun, but still an awesome experience.
    Beautiful, beautiful video and well put. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

    Powell's is fantastic. What is great about downtown Portland is that everything you would want to go to for food, drink, shops is in a 6 x 6 city block area. Behind the Portland Building with Portlandia, the second largest hammered copper statue in the world, is a park that is a grove of huge ginkgo trees. The next time you go to Portland go to the zoo and then take the small train to the Portland Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden up the hill. That garden is one of the top ten Japanese gardens in the world.

    the unmitigated joy of traveling and experiencing destinations with the one you love! I've never done the 30-hr train, but traveled on the East Coast in a sleeper car, and my friend opted for the top bunk -- she unfortunately did not use the handy straps Amtrak provides, and somewhere between DC and Orlando suffered a, comical now, but frightening then roll-off. no injuries, whew. Enjoy your trip!

    When we visited the USA a few years ago, we did LA to Orlando in in the train (an upstairs cabin with bathroom), and frm Seattle back to LA (with a 5 day brreak in San Francisco). Totally amazing experience, and we can totally understand the sleeping on the train - it was hard to stay awake. We smoked in those days (not any more), and would leap off at every stop day or night for a quick drag lol. Saw sights you'd never see from a plane.

    Hi Benji...Glad that you and Chris experienced the Amtrak train ride. Although, they are long rides it's still a great way to see the country! The sleeper car is always an excellent choice! I suggest stopping for a day or two in a cities of interest and get back on. (For example, I did from Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta). Of course, I flew back home! Great trip though!
