Today i'm taking this Amtrak sleeper train for the next 3 days from New York City all the way to San Francisco. This epic journey will see us cross the entirety of the USA by rail, all whilst living onboard the Lake Shore Limited and California Zephyr. I'll show you what it's like from Coach, to Business Class to First Class, what it's like to eat onboard in the dining car, the observation car and for the first time the Amtrak Sleeper Room Suite! What's more I'll explain how I booked this... spoiler it's not cheap!

    You will never regret spending time with your parents. They cherish that time too.

    Much respect that you bring your parents on trips! I think this is a first where you've brought both!
  • @PJ_White
    It’s always special when both parents ride along!!!
  • I love when your parents or parent is with you. I wish mine were here to share a trip with. Enjoy each other. Love your adventures!

    So great to see you traveling with both your mum and dad on this one, Will, and welcome the whole family to the US! It's a very big place, ocean to ocean, and it was nice to see it via train with you and your family. I've often wondered what traveling by train would be like, and while it looks interesting, I love driving too much to give it up, lol. I highly recommend returning to Utah to visit the 5 different National Parks in our state because they're quite beautiful, each in their own way. My family and I try to catch every National Park near where we vacation, and I have to say with each one I've learned a greater appreciation for how beautiful and varied the scenery is in every state. Thanks for sharing your treks with us! ❤

    I love it that even after taking the world's best trains like The Orient Express, The Gahan, and the luxury offerings in S America, you keep returning to Amtrak. :) Thanks for loving on the US! Your coffee idea is something I'll be doing on my next trip!

    Can't say I was enticed to do this trip, but I do so love to see you travel the world Will.
  • Love your videos! Lovely to see Mom and Dad with you on the trip. 😎👍♥️

    The second day on the Zephyr is the best day on any Amtrak trip. I did that day on my 60th birthday.
  • Oh look another trek trendy video! Great way to spend a rainy Sunday.
  • Been feeling a little stressed and down today, but your videos always brighten my day. Perfect timing! Awesome trip and video, as always!

    Another wonderful experience shared... Thank you. Growing up without a Father and loosing our beloved Mother 5 years ago, it's amazing you having to share this with your parents. Cherish every moment as often as you can.
  • If you haven't seen it, watch the iconic Chicago Union Station scene from the movie, "The Untouchables" starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Andy Garcia. It takes place on those same marble stairs.

    Hehehe, I did this exact trip in reverse a few years ago. I'll never forget the laugh I had when I saw the toilet right next to my bed😬
