Amtrak Vacation 9 Days Los Angeles To Miami | Coast Starlight | California Zephyr | Capitol Limited 

I'm folding clothes and traveling on the train at the same time. Thank you sooo much!

Loved this! My hope is that the US realizes what potential there is for upgrading and improving the rail service.

Thank you both for taking us with you on your cross-country journey. This ride looks like so much fun !

Oh my gosh! I just discovered you guys. Train travel is so underrated. I have never done overnight trips but want to so bad! No one wants to travel by train, except me! Y’all are so cute and loving these videos.

My Dad (RIP) used to drive the Coast Starlight! I haven't ridden the train since I was a teen, & quite often would ride the Coast Starlight from San Jose to LA, and also San Jose to Seattle. Fun to watch! I have some vintage Coast Starlight coffee mugs & wine glasses. =)

Train travel is the ONLY way to go! My mother had us on trains in the 40s and I used the train going back and forth to school. My husband and I decided to take a trip by train and we fell in love all over again. Thank you Amtrak!

I absolutely loved traveling on Amtrak for the very first time in 2016. Had always took the bus, but the train is SO MUCH MORE EVERYTHING ♥️

I fell in love with train travel while living in Europe as a young adult. I took my son via Amtrak from Sacramento to Yosemite when he turned 18 and he and I both loved the trip. I’m now nearing retirement and I hoping take up train travel again. It’s the best way to see America.

Ty u for sharing u train trips with us. I literally stay up all nite watching your 27 day trip around the Us. I’m now watching ur 35 day European trip along with this one. Ty u again for taking us along the with y’all

Thank You soooo much for doing these! I have always wanted to do a cool train travel but have not yet and I loved being able to ride along with you two. : )

Love your detailed explanations and pic's of food, room's, etc. And you guys are a really cute couple!!

I love your videos. I laugh BC both of you really give the viewers the 8 day Amtrak Food Tour. Honestly, it is really helpful to know what to expect and you always deliver. Thanks a bunch!!

Love the commentary, choice of shots and the positive vibe of your channel..made me feel like I was enjoying the trip with you

My grandparents traveled by Amtrak train when I was a kid and it always sounded so fun and glamorous. That was back in the 80s to mid 90s. I always have wanted to do this as well, hopefully in the near future.

Thank you for taking us with you. I love watching your videos. I ALWAYS PLAN AND WANTED TO DO A COOL TRAIN TRAVEL TOGETHER WITH MY FAMILY.

Hello All,, I have not traveled by train in decades, I was a kid when I did. I have to thank you guys you have awaken the train traveler in me now that I am retired and really don't have to worry about my time off. So having said that I am planning my first trip from Atlanta to New York City. Thank you so much for the inspiration and motivation.

God bless America! Everytime I watch these videos I am reminded what a beautiful country we live in! Thank you so much for posting these gorgeous vids, I'm traveling our great country through your eyes, please don't ever stop!

When I was a kid, every summer, first 3 weeks in July we would take the train from Union Station in Chicago, to Sioux Falls South Dakota. We left Chicago about 8:30 pm, and it went all through the night, traveling through Iowa. Don’t know the exact route, but as kids, we laughed at the name Davenport Iowa. And came up going north through Sioux City, passing a grocery store called Piggly Wiggly, laughed again. Best 3 weeks of our lives, but very sad when we had to go back. So this was early 50’s- early 60’s. I would love to ride a train again some day. 😎😎😎

I love taking the train. It's so much fun. I meet interesting people, get to see the lovely views, and it's so relaxing. ❤😊

What actually makes your videos great to watch is the fact that there is a narrative to follow thank you guys n Gal's much appreciated ☮️😁

Thank you guys for sharing all these breath taking views as the train go by! Love from Montreal, Canada.

The scenery was so beautiful, thank you for sharing.

When I take the Starlight I always use coach so I can be assured of getting my "coastside" seating. It's usually a day trip anyway. I get on in LA to San Jose or Emeryville depending on final destination. You never want to miss that Coastal view.

I’m almost 79yo.. When I was a child, my family often traveled on the C&O ….Chesapeake and Ohio….We neatly always had a sleeper, which was a decent sized room, with a bathroom. I loved it. There were also cars containing bunks with curtains… That was fun, too. My paternal grandfather worked on the railroad, so we were lucky …and rode on a pass..

I always wanted to take a train round trip just to see what it was like. It looks so relaxing. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Love this trip! We lived near Glenwood Springs for years, and my office looked out over the railroad station and the Hot Springs swimming pool. This is a trip I'd love to take- maybe someday. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Considering my first trip to go to daughter wedding cannot drive alone anymore just lost husband your videos are helping me out alot!! 😬

Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy traveling the world on your channel.

Saving up for my own amtrack vacation. Love these videos and you guys are so adorable! Great content

My sister wants to do train travel and I’m thinking this route for our first trip. This video was so informative!

What an epic journey! How cool y’all got the Viewliner II out of DC! Thanks again for taking us along. We’re going from Charlotte to Orlando next month on the Silver Star. Can’t wait!

Very informing and loved seeing it all, you’re quite a cute couple, I look forward to seeing more from you both! Happy travels!

If you can't tell, I'm an Amtrak fan! I love Amtrak! I've ridden Amtrak three times.

Love watching you guys on this journey. You guys are really good at giving us a tour of what to expect.

Ironically, on my multi-train trip in September, the first fairly tight connection I had (just under 2 hours) was in Chicago, and it was to the Capitol Limited! But in my case, I arrived on the Empire Builder, and it was only about 25 minutes late, so I had no problem making my connection. Thanks for the tour of the Superliner II transition sleeper and the unique cafe/dining car, both rather unusual. I rode both Superliner types on my trip and also noted the difference between the open and closed closets. I've been in Viewliner I roomettes but never the II; thanks for the tour, but I actually liked the idea of having the toiled in the room. I took two showers on my September trip and like you never had to wait to use the shower. BTW, my favorite "flexible" dining option is the short ribs of beef, surprisingly good for microwave-heated food. But I do wish they would return to "traditional" dining on the Eastern trains.

Great video...you covered a LOT in an hour. I love how you call the upper bunk the Penthouse. My wife always gets the lower bed, so I’m going to start using that as I scramble up those steps... Safe travels to you, both!

Wow guys! God sure made some beautiful scenery, didn't He? Thanks for taking us along! I have been to Colorado, from Denver up to Estes Park! I loved it!!

Thanks for all the information, I took notes while watching. I agreed with Rob's food choices, too funny when I saw what he selected because my husband probably would select what Allie was eating. Thanks for all the tips too.

Just took the California Zephyr in January from Sacramento to Chicago….train delayed 5 hrs just west of Denver because of snow and rocks on the tracks…slid into Chicago and was able to grab the last train east to New York…lord what a ride…

Awesome views. Thank you for sharing detailed info and your adventures.

I love your show. I’m making Amtrak reservations tonight to go from DC to Connecticut. I want to take one of the trips that you’ve taken. Maybe this coming year. Thanks for doing what you do.

So enjoyed this trip, thank you both and I’m looking forward to your other trips.

Thank you.... enjoyed the trip without leaving home.

Very nice, I sure hope you get an Amtrak discount soon. You sure deserve it. I’m a Canadian and already booked because of you. Great job. Hope your enjoying your cruise.

Thank you. The best location (not state) is actually Washington, DC. Loads of tourist attractions, museums, phenomenal zoo, beautiful parks, great hotels and super foods. Welcome home!!!!!

The train looks so clean outside 😮

I just want to say thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I know I will never get to do one fourth of your adventures. I'll travel through your eyes. Again thank you❤

Enjoyable to watch. Very much appreciate your work and sacrifice to share these excursions with us the pubblic. Though enjoyable, I'm sure the extras (videling, editing, tour guiding, updating, etc.) aren't not all easy. And so, thank you for thinking of us too. I'm loving it. ❤❤

I just started watching your channel and I must say you guys make me want to travel by train again. Thanks so much.

I enjoy riding Amtrak. From Chicago to Florida to Kansas City and other places 👍I’m happy to be an passenger. Speed is alright sometimes a little freighting. I love exploring different areas. Watching you and partner has made my journey a pleasure. I’m a disabled man. I enjoy Amtrak Railway. Have a wonderful Christmas Celebration and all that comes with making your travels safe and prosperous. God bless you both.

I was raised in Gypsum Colorado which is 24 miles from Glenwood. I remember so many days being stuck in traffic during the rebuilding of the road. Great video I’m planning the families next vacation.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the visuals. I had no idea what the sleeper rooms looked like. Very cool. Plenty of room for a little horizontal bop, also.

I didn’t know that there still were folks like you. Enjoy life my friends

Thank you both for sharing your travels on Amtrak from coast to coast. Your presentation was excellent!

I was just thinking that both of you are so very well spoken. Each with a very different way of sharing your experiences. You make a really good team.

We’ve ridden Amtrak from San Antonio to Chicago but I wish we had known about the sleepers. I really love San Luis Obispo. It’s a beautiful town on a hill just north of LA. I lived in San Jose. I bet that hotel felt good. I’ve traveled by greyhound from San Antonio where I lived for 40 years which I really loved to San Diego which takes appox 33 hours if you get a bus with only one change which is in Phoenix Arizona. We always get the very back seats. It got so we enjoyed the ride because numerous times as numerous people all stayed up and talked and told stories. We all were laughing so loud that the driver who was not friendly told us all to shut up. You have to make sure you bring a pillow and blanket and we advise to bring a roll on cooler with dry ice and pack it with drinks and I made a bunch of egg, potato, bacon tacos and a bag full of dry snacks.some other things to carry would be your own roll of toilet paper and a can of air freshener the best would be some poopurri. Compact everything! If you have a phone service is hard to get from San Antonio to El Paso. So I pack a couple of battery recharge packs. I’m glad Joe Biden who rides Amtrak often has been approved to fix our transportation infrastructure as it was in bad need of fixing for people like us that ride transportation like us.

49:54 North Carolina! Excellent and ever-expanding state-supported passenger rail.

Had a great trip with you guys! Thanks for sharing!

She has beautiful eyes, they are really honest, they seem like really decent people, and happy. Great videos.

So loved this.... Thank you guys :-)

Great review….and the Starlight’s full route to Seattle has been restored. So the odd number roomettes are the ones to request going north, and upper level starting with #7. I’ll have to keep that in mind next time.

22yrs ago on our honeymoon my hubby and I took the Coast Starlight to Tahoe (well, it stopped in Sacramento) but we had so much fun, we had a full room and our attendant was Yoshi, he was such a nice guy. The food was so good....ah memories!!!

Thank you for the tour of Chicago it was beautiful and since I have never been there it was nice to see the sites.

I'm from the finger lakes region of NY but I can say for a certainty that NY isn't my favorite state. I love California, I lived in Torrance for 7-1/2 years and they were the best years of my life.

“Have you folks been on board before?” Question for the ages!

Your videos have helped me know what to expect when I take my first Amtrak trip this summer. I am really excited about it now!

I've always loved trains thanks to my dad so i look forward to my first train ride soon

I did something similar in 2018 I went from Florida to California on Amtrak what a awesome ride that was 👍🏽. I want to do it again one of these days

I love these videos! You guys are couple goals. I want to travel the USA with my partner when we retire lol. Flying is overrated if you’re going domestic in my opinion. Unless I absolutely don’t have the time I’d take the train every time on a trip.

Great route. I'd like to take a cozy en suite bedroom ride through it during heavy winter storms. Expensive, but worth planning for like any other vacation.

Absolutely fantastic insight and videos. I will be booking Amtrak on the strength of this!

Lol, I just moved from Oakland/Emeryville area and I definitely know where you guys are at. It's a real shame that Amtrak didn't use the 16th St. West Oakland station. It would be great if they added the stop again and retrofitted the foundation.

Good job!! It's interesting to see the train conductor open the door at the Burbank CA station instead of the sleeper car attendant. It's great advice for travelers to allow an additional day for connections. Anything can occur on long distance trains, so I've learned to plan accordingly. The Zephyr which originated in Oakland, CA, once had 2 other trains (The Pioneer originating in Seattle, & Desert Wind originating in L.A.) Eastbound, these trains would connect at Salt Lake City, leaving with an impressive consist & ending in Chicago. I think this service ended in the mid 90's due to budget issues. What's bad about Amtrak's Guest Rewards program is members need to use accumulated points within 2 years or they'll lose them.

Thank you for the video! I've always wondered what the long distance trains are like, and y'all are great at pictures and explaining everything 😊

thank you for posting this video of your travels - it's enjoyable to watch

So inspired! 🥰 Thank you guys for the wealth of information. I'm in the progress of manifesting my first cross country train ride !

I just found your channel love your duo dynamic, Ive always wanted to travel between NYC and Chicago on the Lake Shore. Greetings from the UK.

Love your videos I can’t stop watching videos in preparation for my Amtrak journey this summer in august

Love watching you guys, such a lovely couple!

Wow, Burbank to Orlando, what an epic journey. And I though I was having a slightly crazy when I planned Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon into my travel itinerary with a 3 train journey, well 3 & a 1/2 if you include the MBTA transfer between North & South Stations on the Orange & Red lines. Although, I’ll be taking then back-to-back-to-back so I might still be crazy. But there’s 2hrs between the DownEaster arriving at Ten-thirty & LSL departing at Twelve- fifty for a journey that reportedly takes less than 20 minutes, and over 4hrs between LSL arrival & Empire Builder departure so it should all be okay. Planning on going to visit the Willis tower for a couple hours during my layover then will hang around Union Station but could skip Willis Tower if I need to because of late arrival or something. I’m simply waiting for NZ borders to reopen so i can start nailing down some dates on when I can travel to the US and get my Amtrak on

We have NO TRAIN service without going to Tallahassee, although we do have airports and military bases in our area. Many years ago there was the Sunset Limited that used to stop in Crestview, but since that accident in Alabama happened there have been NO TRAINS coming through our area.

I can't wait to try this, TFS

Solid. 💯💯💯 Thank you for your time and effort making these videos. You are my scouting report and like my...Amtrak Spirit Animals 😅.

Since there were so many spaces open I wonder if someone could get an upgrade for the roomettes? I love these videos, They keep me wanting to travel on trains lol

FUN FACT: There is only one route that goes from Los Angeles to Florida by train, that train has to be the Sunset Limited. That was until 2005 came Hurricane Katrina when the service between New Orleans and Orlando has been suspended, leaving no plans on when can they resume service in the near future.

This video was done very nicely. Thank you for sharing.🧡🦋🌻

Hi, I find binge watching your videos quite informative & therapeutic. Thank you for sharing 🙏💕

We love you guys, thank you for sharing your journey with us. 💜🌹🫂

I Love your vlogs! Thank you for sharing your adventures 🙏🏼 Virginia is the Best State 🇺🇸

Love the video, and always looking forward to your videos, and I hope to one day see you both on board. I work for Disney, so always back, and forth on the train. I am from NY. Born, and raised in the Bronx lol.

Thank you for sharing! The scenery is awesome.

Thank you for sharing your journey on Amtrak, it was first train from KC to LA California, passing Chicago, Colorado mountains

Would love to see Amtrak start running the Route 66 route, again...

I just discovered your channel and I have to say bravo! The shots of the landscapes were beautiful and clear. It was a fun look at what it would be like to do cross-country! I did a journey from Austin, TX to Tampa, FL after I had surgery as a kid and I LOVED it. It was almost 3 days, due to an extended stop in New Orleans & I had such a blast.

I feel like taking a train trip today. Love your videos. Safe travels.

Great video !! Thank You !!!

I’ve always wanted to take a train trip!

Fun fact. Right after Reno there is a little town of Fernley. Some railway fan friends of mine bought a house next to the track. When we let them know we are on the Zephyr, they will come and wave at the train. And I love the part of the trip through the Sierras. Nevada desert not so much. Good time for a nap after Fernley.

The both of you are so cute..I love watching your videos. My husband and I have never been on a train...to start we want to ride on the dinner train and plan to do so soon. Thank you for all your good info and for sharing your experiences!

Another excellent video guys! Thanks!!
