With all the many songs from my childhood that have to do with train rides, mostly Simon and Garfunkel and of course the Gambler by Kenny Rogers, I figured it was time to take a train trip. So bound to visit the family in Salt Like City, I boarded my first Amtrak train.
Great views, okay food and lots of time to read. I was loving it! But I did go couch and not in a sleeper so about 3 hours in, the seat was uncomfortable. Tried to nap but could not get quite comfortable enough. So I was up reading from 7:05am to 3:05am. With small intermissions of trying to sleep and the water on trains is not so great.
But I did enjoy myself and the people were really nice and friendly and gave us great historic tips along the way. Now have a list of things that can make my next train trip a bit more comfortable and a sleeper is a must!
As my friend said "Train trips are relaxing and nostalgic with a great view"
Below are some pictures... Hello SLC.
Cheers,
Sassi
