Let’s kick off the new year with some inspiration to get out of your house and hit the railways. I love taking the train. I live in what’s known as the Northeast Corridor. Essentially it’s the area between Washington DC and Boston. The whole route is connected by rail and people often use them to get around. Prices can be cheaper and I find the train to be so much more convenient than flying. I almost always take an Amtrak or regional rail when I go to New York City because I’m not about fighting traffic to get into the Big Apple.
While I’m used to using the train, most Americans miss out on it. We always hear about how Americans under utilize trains. But there are rails going throughout the entire country. This is where Vacations By Rail comes into play.
Vacations By Rail plans these special trips that take you through some of the most beautiful spots in the United States. I’m talking the National Parks, Colorado, Southwest, Alaska and so many more. And these trips are specially designed to make sure that you get a full experience of the location you’re visiting. Some of them even provide unique opportunities that only come around every so often, like trips to see the Northern Lights.
Vacations By Rail isn’t limited to the United States. They have incredible tours that go all around Europe as well as other countries. Seriously, these people have put together some remarkable packages. I’m excited to discuss some of those with Liz Owens, she’s the senior vice president and general manager for Vacations By Rail. I promise you after this conversation you’ll be on their website looking for a trip.
