On a whim last year I got the idea to take Amtrak somewhere...that soon turned into a project. Who knew taking several trains to several locations in a series of 10 days would be so complicated!
In any case, here is my route:
Zephyr from Denver - Emeryville
Coast Starlight from EMY - Eugene, Or
Cascades from EUG - Seattle, Wa
Empire from SEA - Chicago
Zephyr from CHI - Denver
My only seat during this trip is on the Cascades route, all the rest are roomettes.
Did I mention I'm going solo?
All that in mind, I am surely going to have plenty of downtime & am looking for ways to not get bored but, not get overwhelmed socially either (I loathe small talk, the more I have to do, the more exhausted it makes me).
So far I plan on, at the very least, writing & taking photos as much as I can. I'll be bringing my laptop with me so I can write quickly.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions of things I must do or can do while on the train?
