My First Time On A Long Train Ride
I haven't been on a train ride this long my entire life. Somehow, it feels like second nature. Get on the train, look at the scenery, listen to music and ponder. There has been a lot to think about this ride, as this short trip may change my life.
To be honest with you guys, the seats aren't bad for coach. It's been approximately 7 hours I have been seated on one of these things, I'm about ready for it to be over but I'm also not complaining. Just wondering what business is like.
The wifi isn't too bad either, this time has been spent steeming it, uploading, catching up with my comments and fellow dtubedaily fam.
I did expect this route down south to be a bit more scenic, making it hard to get nice shots. The windows are super dirty too, but I'm not too upset with the way these turned out.
Pros of the Amtrak? They offer beer. Cons of the Amtrak? Both Spencer and I got this same meal and it came out to $35USD. Yikes, guess I will only be having one. I couldn't even finish this wrap, it was filled with questionable ingredients.
This particular train is called The Carolinian. We left at 7:25AM from Penn Station, NY and are arriving to our destination in North Carolina at 5:00PM. We go back home on Saturday and are taking the same route back. Now we know what to expect and know to bring some healthy snacks with us to get us by without having to empty out our pockets.
Have you guys been on the Amtrak before? I would love to hear about your experience!
Thanks for joining me,
Jane
