Amtrak

I love the train. So much to see and someone else is driving. My kids really enjoyed it when we went to Chicago. I will tell you the only way I have traveled is the private rooms, so I don't know how the rest of the train is.

I have never done it, but it's my father's main means of long distance travel. He loves it!

I once went with 4 kids and 2 adults. We got a private car cause the kids. It was terrible!!! There were very low class people in the regular car and they were smoking and getting drunk the entire trip (we had a 15 hour trip to Az). The air went out as soon as we left Dallas and they kept telling us it would work any moment now. Oh and the toilets also stopped working. It might be different since you are alone, but just be prepared with hand wipes, layer your clothes, and try to get as far away from the bar/club car as you can!!!!!

It's been great for us. My mom, my nieces, and I have have all taken trips on it. I took my two kiddos on a short trip to Oklahoma a few months ago and my son really liked it. On the one we were on they do not allow smoking at all aso we didn't have to worry about that. I would take your own food/snacks if you can...they have a snack car but the prices are expensive. It was really neat for us to see parts of the country that you don't see from the freeway. Have fun!
