The author relaxes in an Amtrak bedroom traveling from Miami to NYC.
  • I spent 30 hours on an Amtrak train traveling from Miami to New York City in October 2021.
  • For $1,000, I stayed in a bedroom, which is about the size of a king-sized bed with a full bathroom.
  • The private room was more comfortable than any other overnight train I've booked in the US.

I prefer to travel by train when I can — even if it means taking an overnight ride.
