Thinking about traveling by train? Welcome to my site.
As a frequent rider of Long Distance Amtrak trains, I’ve discovered a thing or two about utilizing trains for travel. In the 14 years that my husband and I have traveled by train, we have seen so much of the United States (and bits of Canada). Not having to drive to get to areas of North America is a very relaxing way to explore new places.
On this blog you’ll find tips for traveling with children, riding the rails during Winter, when a sleeper cabin is worth it, and so much more. For all my tips and tricks on how you can explore using Amtrak, please visit Safe Travel to read my blog posts. Check back often as I’m always adding new posts based on my ongoing travels.
