The Ultimate Train Holiday
When considering a holiday trip you have the following options from which to choose:
And if you're really into exercise, hitchhiking.
During holiday season most people think plane because it gets you to your destination fast, but you really don't see anything at 35,000 feet except clouds. Plus it can be expensive. Some other options mentioned above are not only stressful but don't offer the amenities that you get taking a holiday train trip. Especially if you have an inside seat on a bus or an inside room on a 4-deck cruise ship.
America and neighbor to the north, Canada, offer any-time-of-the-year train trips from coast-to-coast with knockout scenery you can view from your window. Here in the USA, Amtrak pretty much tosses a blanket over the entire country and some parts of Canada, with train holiday options that will put you front and center in a coach, business class as well as your own private sleeping compartment. 500 destinations in 46 states should fit your holiday train plans, perfectly.
So, you have to ask yourself this question! Would you rather keep pounding the steering wheel in your vehicle driving in stop-and-go traffic shouting at drivers who can't hear you, or enjoying the comfort of a train holidays with a private room of your own, excellent service and food, plus a lounge or club car with window-views in every direction. Sure, it may take you an extra hour or two to reach your destination, but you and your family will never regret it when you arrive with a smile.
