  1. Sounds like a great trip, I look forward to your posts.

    P.S. I have a little trouble reading your post because it displayed on my screen with no paragraph breaks – I’m not sure if this was a formatting error or not, so thought I would mention it.

  2. As a European person I was shocked to find out that Americans don’t take the train all the time everywhere (I had this idea that the country was built on the railroads, you know). I have been wanting to take a longer train trip while in the USA, just to take in the incredible distances and landscapes you don’t get to really experience from an airplane.
    Cool theme! I’ll be back to find out more 🙂

  3. I always thought it would be fun to take a trip on a train! Years ago my mom and us siblings traveled from Pennsylvania to California on one. I still remember the adventures to this day! Great theme for the challenge.

  4. Great choice! We looked into an Amtrack trick after my husband’s friend told him how cheap it was. Not cheap at ALL! But I’ve since begun to suspect that my husband’s friend’s wife lies to him about how much their trips actually cost (“We’re getting a hotel room in Times Square for $100 a night!”) because he wouldn’t agree to go if he knew how much they were really spending.

  5. Now THAT is a theme I’m very interested in!!

    I will be participating in my first #AtoZChallenge. I hope that you like Chinese food. If you do, please check out my blog at http://www.thechinesequest.com – an hour later you’ll want to come back and read another article! 😉

  6. Late to the party, that’s me.

    So glad to see you’re blogging this! I’ve always wanted to take a train trip–all those movies from the 30s and 40s, I guess. Almost got to do it, once. I had my ticket–over $400 from Dallas to LA–but Mom decided to DRIVE me to LA instead. Yeah. I was about 45 years old at the time. Data: if you don’t ask for a refund right away, you are not going to get one. Ah, well, driving is also a good way to see the country. Just ask Dinah Shore.

  7. Hi, just making the rounds to try and meet some of my fellow A to Z bloggers prior to the big day. You are so right. I can’t tell you how many times I have discovered blogs that I really like during the challenge, only to realize that I would never be able find the blog again. For some reason I didn’t consider how hard it might be to find the blogs again once the challenge was over. This year I am bookmarking my favorites. But, I signed up for your newsletter, just to be certain. I am looking forward to reading all about your trip. My husband and I traveled by train all through Europe, but we always forget that we can make train trips right here in the good ole USA. I love traveling by train. Hope you have/had a great time in New Orleans (my favorite place to live). I will be back to visit next week.

    I am having a little mystery game for my crime fiction theme. There will be weekly prizes for solving daily clues and a grand prize at the end of April for solving the big crime. I hope you will stop by.

  8. Super cool idea for A-Z! I am a wanderluster myself and look forward to hearing more about your trip! I’m from Canada so never done Amtrak, but have taken a Via Rail train from Edmonton, Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia through the Rocky Mountains. I hope to some more train travelling in my future.
