Sometimes taking a vacation can be difficult maybe you don't have the time or the budget. Flying can be very costly and a pain. Driving is cheaper but takes much longer to get to your destination. Something in between would be nice.

I've always wanted to check out a train trip adventure. I bet it could be a lot of fun. The longest rail trip I've ever taken is from the suburbs to Chicago. I enjoyed that little trip. My parents took the train from Chicago to New Orleans and just loved it.

There are a couple of options when it comes to traveling by train. You can just get a seat. They are newly designed seats so you get more room. You can upgrade to a roomette which is private seating. There are also bedrooms available.

There is food available on the train during the long trip if you get hungry. It just seems like a fun way to see the country and a great experience for you and your family. You can at least check it out.
