December 26, 2019- Couples trip

Amtrak Empire Builder

Pros: The staff were so nice. The process of getting on the train is simple and there is so much room! Plus beautiful views once the sun is up. Cons: Sometimes it's hard to figure out where to go. More signs would be helpful. Tips: Check out the lounge car! So fun! If you need sleep, your seat reclines back (there's So much room), there's a foot rest And another that pops up when you receive like a lazyboy.
