How I did it: Took Amrak from Vancvouer to Philadelphia.Stage one: Vancouver to Seattle - about 2 hours - beautiful. Stage 2: Seattle to Chicago - 3 days, 2 nights. Bought a roomette sleeper berth on the train, so had my own little space, all meals included. Amazing views through the Rookies, the plains of Montana and North Dakota, then through the lakes to Chicago in time for St Paddy's day. Stage 3. Chicago to New York. 18 hours, 1 night.… Read how I did it…
How I did it: With a cold-hard credit card.Little bit of research online. Bugged a few friends to let me try theirs. Then my old PC laptop died so I took the plunge.I am now a Mac convert. Read how I did it…
