Amtrak Silver Service

Pros: More relaxing to travel by train than plane. The peace of mind that I was on the ground. Plus safety rating of travel by train compared to planes. Cons: Staff, mostly male, seemed to be straight forward not personable or pleasant. I was almost afraid to ask a question their face blank and response cold and short. Tips: Neck pillow, blanket, eye mask, earphones very helpful. Long but comfortable ride with these accessories.
