Amtrak Pacific Surfliner

Pros: I really enjoyed the smooth ride and the ease of travel. Cons: Directions on how to get from the northbound side of the train station in Camarillo, CA to the southbound side. When googling the address, there wasn’t one to the southbound train, only the northbound. I almost missed my train trying to figure out how to cross to the other side (since there is a fence there). Tips: Bring some extra money for the snack shop :)
