When I tell people my new book is about train travel, the number one response to follow is “I’ve Always Wanted to Do That!” So, why aren’t you going? Okay, I know the obvious answers: time and money, we may never have enough of either one. But really, why aren’t you going? If I told you it remains one of the best things this family of five has ever done would that convince you?
If I show you what train travel looks like, would that help?
If I told you our first train trip was truly a happy accident, would that help convince you? I asked myself way back in 2014, why not take a train? You see the cost of airline tickets was outrageous, nearly $700 a piece and I needed five seats. There goes the vacation budget I said to myself. There must be a better way to get to California from Boston.
Drive you say? Well, not in 2014, when the average gas price for the summer was $3.50 – $3.66 per gallon.

Would it help if I told you that you can visit over 500 destinations with a USA Rail Pass?
How about if I showed you some life on the train pics? While these pictures are just the tip of the iceberg you can see in the middle picture one of the best features of Superliner Trains (most trains west of the Mississippi) is the beautiful observation car. You will watch an incredible movie out the windows of the train and develop a new and very relaxing habit “staring out a window”.
