  • I recently had an amazing opportunity. I was chosen as an #AmtrakTakeMeThere Social Media Resident! #Amtrak sponsored me on a train trip from Orlando, Florida to Washington DC. We traveled on the Silver Meteor and stayed in a bedroom on the sleeper car. I honestly was pretty nervous to try this new experience, away from my routine, but excited at the same time. Find out what happened on part 1 of my #AmtrakTakeMeThere adventure! #AmtrakAmbassador

    I liked riding the train because you have no responsibilities; there's nothing you have to do. The train and the crew handle everything. All you have to do is ride. It's very peaceful. I was glad to get to my destination, though.

    • @JenMsumba
      @JenMsumba  5 років тому +3

      I agree, it's very relaxing and you don't have to worry about loading your things or getting the beds ready or what you will eat

    Oh Jen, that looks so comfortable. Now I've got to make this come true on my bucket list one way or another. Granny from Kentucky is a widow. But I'm going to be checking into Amtrak when I wake up sometime this morning. It's already 3 a.m. I spend the last couple hours watching you. Love your videos that much but granny from Kentucky is going to Say goodnight/ Good morning. for now and I will catch you on the train Right back home. Cuz I've already watched you in Washington. Got a little mixed up on part 1 and 2 and 3. But that's okay. I get to watch you and them all. Sending you tons of love from a Kentucky granny.

    I love this. You are so happy and sweet. I am a mother of an 11 year old mainly nonverbal daughter who has autism. My daughter got to go on her first car ride out of state a couple months ago. She love it. My question is at night if I fall asleep on a train is there anyway of locking the doors so she does not wander off when I am asleep. Or should I stick to car riding for her?

    • @JenMsumba
