New adventure starting in Boston! If you missed any NYC video, they're all here: th-cam.com/video/JwMefsNZ77U/w-d-xo.html - Have a wonderful weekend! 😍
I'm a nervous traveller and am doing this route next month. Your video was amazing for me - it helped to clear up what to expect at the train station / boarding / luggae etc. Thank you for taking the time to make the video & share with us
Wow that was a great video! You two are so cheerful and refreshing. As a Bostonian I hope you enjoyed our lovely city. Thanks for giving such excellent advice about each and every aspect of the trip…and you did it so happily without complaints or criticism! The two of you must be truly happy in your own skin! You’re like little kids and that’s a great way to when traveling! Or living for that matter!
Hi, Renata, I am Italian and I'm viewing your videos for improving my English. The subtitles in Italian help me a lot. Thank you for sharing with us your trips and congratulations for the editing. Ciao
It's really a beautiful view of the shore on this trip, and even the industrial stuff is really neat to see. When I have time I opt to take the train rather than drive or fly between Boston and NYC. The folks attending to the food car are always a laugh and have very positive energy. Best way to travel between the two cities unless you're on a tight schedule.
True! And in my case bring a lot of coins with you. The staff in the cafe car would appreciate it because they can make change for other passengers easier. It pays to bring several denominations of dollar Bill's from 1 to 100 dollars for the trip and for a down payment for holding your room in the hotel.
Muito obrigado! Bravo! Great Video! I have traveled several times from NYC (Penn Station, NYP) to Boston South Station. Great experience. Coming from a country, India, where people mostly take the trains, I recommend that Americans also should travel by train. Like Amtrak advertises--- " See America a the 'SEE' level "! It is so gratifying that now-a-days, Americans have started taking the train. In fact, U.S.A. has the largest "rail" network, but most tracks are unused or used very sparingly. It is great to see AMTRAK making a comeback! One thing: most AMTRAK Stations are right in the City centers...in fact, history has that the cities grew AROUND the TRAIN-STATIONS! Hence one gets to be right in the downtown area(s) when one travels by train! Look forward to having many such informative videos on TRAIN-trips as well!
Dear Rajeeve, On the east coast of America, the late Pennsylvania R.R built their lines to the center of the cities in order to bring passengers into the business area where the hotels and businesses had their headquarters. Where I lived before retiring was Jersey City, N.J which had their terminal where people took the ferries to NYC. From 1890 til 1910 the people used it and it went to the main business Area. For a mile it went above the streets by a 4 track El from near Journal to the Hudson River. From 1910 til 1967 the Pennsylvania R.R became the biggest and due to highways and airlines , it merged with the New York Central Railroad. It no longer exists but there is the Port Authority Trans Hudson subway where passengers from Amtrak change to,the subway trains. From there they go to the financial district of Wall street or take the subway to Midtown Manhattan 1 block away from Penn station. Penn is short for Pennsylvania and the hotel across 7th Avenue is also called the Pennsylvania Hotel. It has been there since 1920 and was built and owned by the same railroad. I should know, I am a New Yorker who grew up there.
Renata: Thanks you so much for this remarkable video that you & Gordon are traveling from New York City to Boston, MA. by the Amtran Train November of 2021!
Renata:I am hoping to see more videos from you guys soon this week from Boston,MA. I really love this remarkable video so much in joy today November of 2021!
Renata, I hope you guys have a great times in Boston,MA. this week shooting great videos in the city for me & the World to watch FREE in joy 2021…Happy Thanksgiving this week!
Years ago, I lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia and took the train from there to Boston to visit with a university friend. I sat on the right and was thrilled to see the ocean as the train travelled part of Connecticut. I'm glad that you both enjoyed your trip. I have since taken Amtrak from my hometown of St. Albans, West Virginia, to visit my mother's sister in Arkansas and I totally enjoyed that trip, too - on that trip, I paid to have a little roomette and this gave me all of my meals and it was such alot of fun to go for a meal and meet other travellers and hear about their journeys. My family didn't think I'd enjoy Amtrak because I live now in the UK and have certainly taken the train in Britain, in Norway, and in the Netherlands, and they felt that Amtrak would be inferior but I think it has a lot of positives - I sure enjoyed my trips. Thanks for your video.
I live in Boston. I have taken the Amtrak to NY many a time. Its industrial going through MA and then pretty w water, country in RI and CT. Gets industrial again getting close to NY. See the subways. Queens. Great trip.
Hello, I will be in Boston this July and was wondering how practical or smart it is of me if I want to take a day trip to NYC. If need be I will rent a hotel in NYC but if you think I can go visit Times Square and Central Park Statue of Liberty in one day then I'll do a day trip. Please advise.
I often take a book to read on a long train journey, rarely gets read as looking out the window at the passing countryside is entertainment on its own.
this train hall at new york train station looks very modern with the glass but at the same time very "classic" with some steel parts as it was built a long time ago. 👍🏻😊 nice cities along this train trip 🤩
5:12 The "dining car" is really called the "Cafe Car" and it extends beyond the actual cafe counter. The next car behind that is the Business Class car. There is no "restaurant car" in the Northeast Regional Amtrak trains.
justo necesitaba este video, estare viajando dentro de un mes a new hampshire y para llegar tengo tengo que pasar a boston. Es mi primera vez yendo y no tenia idea de cómo ir desde NYC hasta boston, Muchas gracias por subir este tipo de video!!!
Que bueno, Lizbeth! Me alegra mucho que el video fue util. Si estás cierta de que vás en tren, si compras el billete al menos 14 días antes pagas muuuuuuucho menos. Buen viaje y buen provecho 😘
Renata,, apa kabar? Baik ya.. so glad to see you again with the newest video.. Kapan ke Indonesia lagi? Do you know what,, this week WSBK underway in Lombok.. 👌✅
Halo, saya baik-baik saja dan Anda? Terima kasih telah menonton. Ya, kami akan senang untuk kembali ke Indonesia yang indah tetapi menunggu negara Anda terbuka untuk kami. Segera setelah kami melihat itu, kami dapat merencanakan untuk kembali. Sangat keren untuk Lombok...Saya ingin sekali melihat daerah itu.👍😍
@@RenataPereiraTV its a pleasure to watch your videos, I love travel and I hope to visit New York soon. I wish you a Merry Christmas, best regards from Italy !!
I just went to Boston from Spokane, WA and loved the smooth ride, quietness, spacious seats, helpful train people, no tedious rules or TSA. If you’re not in a hurry and want getting there to be part of the journey, you love Amtrak like I do. And it’s actually about the same price as flying. I’m a definite train fan! BTW Boston is awesome.
@@RenataPereiraTV Three days stopping at towns along the way, layover in Chicago and Washington DC, then on to Boston. I’m 73 and have always wanted to see Boston and take a train ride and got them both checked off my bucket list. Next is a balloon ride. 🙂
Hotels are pricey in Boston. To save money, don't stay in town but pick a hotel slightly out of town. You should be able to find cheaper places along an MBTA (subway) route. Maybe near MIT or Harvard on the Red Line.
@@RenataPereiraTV It was a while ago, but the Courtyard by Marriott about a mile from Harvard I don't think had a resort fee. Depending on the time of year, Boston hotels are pricey. If you don't mind taking the train back and forth to downtown (the train ride is fairly short), they're half the price. :)
@@roachtoasties Thanks for the idea! This time we ended up staying downtown for the convenience, as we love when we have the chance to walk everywhere. But for future trips, we'll most likely check other options 🙂👍
@@RenataPereiraTV Look forward to watching your vlogs in Boston. Both NYC n Boston r two cities that should be my working destiny but it didn't happen. Oh well. 😀
Hey Renata and Gordon. You guys did a great job on this video report as well. I thought USA was very expensive but when I see the menu in the train station, it seems a little cheaper than in Belgium. From the looks of it, the trains are much more comfortable than in my country, but more expensive. Is interesting though that there are carriages where you are not allowed to talk loudly. In Belgium we have 1st and 2nd class but in itself it doesn't make much difference.
You can get better prices here too if you buy in advance. But as the cities can be quite far from each other, I guess that's why prices might be higher. And I believe you have a huge advantage in Belgium: more high-speed trains, I think. Here it's still something brand new.
@@cesarzorrilla2416 Fully get it. The first time I went to Boston was a work trip 5 years ago, and I got so in love with the city. All this time I kept telling Gordon that Boston is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen 😍
This is an old video, but here are some comments anyway: 1. The Moynihan Train Hall was converted from an old Post Office. Since mail no longer travels by train, and there is far less of it today, the Post Office wasn't really needed so it's a bit of a replacement for the old Pennsylvania station that was razed in the early 1960's. 2. New York, like many US cities, has many homeless people Thus, seating only in cordoned off areas for ticketed passengers only (same at Grand Central Terminal, where long bench seats were removed and the waiting room hidden in the basement.) 3. The NE Regional isn't long distance by US standards, but a cross between a commuter train and long distance train. 4. The rail right of way along the Connecticut coast is very old and winding, so even the Acela goes slowly. Acela is a bit faster mostly because of fewer stops, not higher speed. The good news is that the overhead wires and track are all pretty new or renovated, so the trains no longer suffer from heat related, sagging wire delays (those from NYC to DC do). 5. NYC's surviving iconic train station is Grand Central Terminal, which serves Metro North Railroad's commuter trains north along the Hudson River and east to Connecticut. Trains to Long Island have recently been added, in a massive new underground addition.
I've taken this trip plenty of times. So nice to see you take it too Renata. By the way I like snagging a seat in the dining car. Easier access to food and the plugs. Also ill usually take the right sided seats going northbound to enjoy the views of the Long Island Sound.
There are lots of Portuguese people in south eastern Mass (from the whaling industry). My mother is from Boston and she is 1/2 with her ancestors from the Azores. Be sure to visit the North Church and ol’ Iron Sides.
Thanks for sharing. Gordon has a Portuguese friend in Canada who had relatives in the area....from the Azores. Keep watching, we cover the historical trail 👍😀
Oh.. not to mention William Bradford came over on the Mayflower to Plymouth rock (not much to see there) and started the first Thanksgiving….just saying
There is a compartment near the door for luggage. Note, you have to carry on yourself or they may have porters to help for a tip...can't quite remember. Enjoy both cities....they are fantastic
Thanks a ton. Let me ask you, now that India has opened...what is the situation? We would love to visit India but want to make sure it is the right time.
@@RenataPereiraTV thanks for reply yes true. just yesterday i was know it from newspaper. I'm sure you too much enjoy if you visit India. you are most welcome. thank you.
@@RenataPereiraTV Из города Сургут Россия в Казахстан,с тремя пересадками ехали,вот и получилось что пять суток ехали.С одной стороны конечно утомительна такая длинная поездка,с другой стороны очень интересно,много городов поселили и посмотрели
3:58 that was interesting your comment on their being no seat belts. I know no trains here in the UK have seat belts and no trains I have been on in Spain, France, Japan or other countries had them either. Do some trains in the world have seat belts? Just interested. It maybe makes sense that they should!
Great timing, I will be making this journey next summer so this was really helpful to see. I had heard that you should sit on the right hand side of the train for the best views once out of New York, having sat on the left hand side would you agree or disagree with this?
Hello. Leaving from NYC, left hand side to see the city skyline and then right hand side to see the water as you get thru Conn/RI. We have 4 other NY videos...do check them out. Enjoy your trip next year.
I think you are making the right choice for not taking Acela, which usually takes 3.5hours with out of proportion fare. Hope there will be some kind of upgrade to 125mph or 150mph system which should make travel between these two cities in less than 2 hours.
Definitely yeah. Brazil doesn't have long-distance passenger trains, unfortunately. There are only regional ones, used mainly for local tourism. So this train was a pleasant surprise 😉
South Boston train station is right downtown tho you may need an Uber to get to your hotel with bags. Otherwise, we were walking the whole time. I believe the Acela.
Acela isn’t much faster than the Regional (I’ve used both). The only advantage that Acela has is that the trains are nicer. Acela has reserved seating. The Northeast Regional doesn’t (with the exception of Business Class, which is actually more expensive than a regular Acela ticket). Amtrak dining is overpriced. Buy food at the station and then bring it onboard.
Yes, it is a little bit faster but not super fast like European or Japanese trains. For us, who can work on a train, we prefer to save a little. There is talk of a faster high speed train to be built in that corridor. Lets see if they can get it off the ground.
As someone who travels from NYC to Boston often, the train price is not worth it. Yes you need some travel time when you travel by plane, the main chunk of time being from Manhattan to the airport but Boston's airport is like 15 min to the city center.
Not really sure as we were not scanned and had to take our own luggage on. Here is a link to Amtrak luggage policy...but I am not sure what they really follow as this was my first trip in this corridor.
No question that is the best train route in America even the “slow” train is Bette than other Amtrak routes. It’s all downhill from that train. Ny to Boston in no way is “long” distance
Gracias Renata por este blog que descubrí hoy 22 octubre 2021; Hice este trayecto en 2008 desde Boston a Ny en unos buses 🚍 que llegaban a la Canal Street y lafayette la verdad eran unos que ya no hacen mas el recorrido por ser poco seguros eran algo así como Fonwua o se pronuncia así ! me encantó el vídeo Gracias y les mirare su contenido.También disfruto muchísimo viajar con mi marido!
Que bueno, muchísimas gracias 😊. También hice unos viajes en bus hace muchos años en otras partes de los EEUU y igual, no me gustó. Por eso hoy prefiero los trenes o los coches 😉. Que tengas una excelente semana 😘
Hi Renata I really enyoied your videos I Will Travel with my family to New York on December 31 to live new years Eve in Manhattan. We Will be in the Hampon inn Grand Central near time square, but I was checking and to be in the place where de ball drops is very complicated. Can you give me some advice about a different and grate place to be in new years eve in NY. Thanks a lot Fernando from Colombia
Hello Fenranado. I don't live in NYC and have never experienced New Years there but I got this link and this should help generate some ideas. loving-newyork.com/new-years-eve-in-new-york-city/
Hello. We wait for Indonesia to fully open safely. As soon as that happens, we will plan a visit back. It looks like Indonesia is opening slowly. We will continue to watch.
really good and we will wait you again in indonesia, just our suggest, maybe you must to plan to come to raja ampat island at west papua (around 4 hour from jakarta by airplane) really beutiful place in indonesia. Stay safe and health
Hi renata, I just need guide/direction how to manage my trip. Arriving Boston in late June 2022 but my plane does not land until 1050pm. I’m wishing to go to New York by train from here. Is there accomodation at Boston airport? Alternatively I can train directly from Boston that same day. Where can I get the train from Boston airport? You mentioned your hotel in NY is just right next to train station. So which hotel is it? My conference in Boston does not start until July 3. So I have some time to kill and I wish to spend that in New York. THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
We stayed at Fairfield Inn and suites across the street from Penn Station's new building, in NYC. Arriving at 10:50 at night you would be lucky to get to the train station say midnight. Then it is a 4 hour ride to NYC from Boston. In Boston, South Station is the train station closest to the airport and I believe the bus, from the airpot, to it is free. There are a few hotels close to Logan airport but Boston is expensive. Plenty of hotels downtown Boston but you would need to Uber/Taxi to the train station if you have many bags. I hope that helps in your search
It was a good video, but don't connect as the 4:31 free WiFi doesn't have a keymark. WiFi without a key mark can be attacked by a virus by a malicious person or personal information can be stolen. You need to be careful in the future.
New adventure starting in Boston! If you missed any NYC video, they're all here: th-cam.com/video/JwMefsNZ77U/w-d-xo.html - Have a wonderful weekend! 😍
sure thanks
Nice
Hope you liked my city. I wish I knew you would coming; we could've had dinner. :)
Hey how arre you
Renata: The Amtra Train is just amazing with great space that have a great store, I will love to travels on this great train soon in the near future!
I'm a nervous traveller and am doing this route next month. Your video was amazing for me - it helped to clear up what to expect at the train station / boarding / luggae etc. Thank you for taking the time to make the video & share with us
Glad it was helpful! Exact reason we produce these videos...to help fellow travelers. Enjoy your visit!
I think it's something that I really want to do soon... travel across the US by train... maybe a long vacation for 2022. Thanks for this, Renata!
You are most welcome.👍😀

Thanks so much! 😊 We enjoy travel and Boston brings the spirit out of us. Love ur city and hope to return to explore more in the future.😀👍
Never seen the US train. Thank you for this bunch of little details. Great video!
You are most welcome
There's also the Acela Line on that route. Faster trains, but a bit more expensive. New Acela trains are on their way.

@@RenataPereiraTV Look forward to watching your vlogs in Boston. Both NYC n Boston r two cities that should be my working destiny but it didn't happen. Oh well. 😀
@@Yasin_Affandi You never know... maybe they're still in your future 😉
@@RenataPereiraTV That's a lovely thing to say, millions of thanks, Renata. 😀
Hey Renata and Gordon. You guys did a great job on this video report as well. I thought USA was very expensive but when I see the menu in the train station, it seems a little cheaper than in Belgium. From the looks of it, the trains are much more comfortable than in my country, but more expensive. Is interesting though that there are carriages where you are not allowed to talk loudly. In Belgium we have 1st and 2nd class but in itself it doesn't make much difference.
We have quiet carriages in Ireland as well, great if one needs to work or read, just turn any sounds off on the laptop, or wishes to sleep.
@@tonys1636 Thank you Tony for your response. This is what we are missing on our Belgian trains
You can get better prices here too if you buy in advance. But as the cities can be quite far from each other, I guess that's why prices might be higher. And I believe you have a huge advantage in Belgium: more high-speed trains, I think. Here it's still something brand new.
@@tonys1636 That might be really good to get work done while admiring the view
Great vlog👍
Thank you 😊
Welcome to Boston. You'll love it here.
Ohhh, we did. And we can't wait to return. Thank you...you live in Boston?
@@RenataPereiraTV I do live in Boston. I've been in many cities, but Boston my favorite one.
@@cesarzorrilla2416 Fully get it. The first time I went to Boston was a work trip 5 years ago, and I got so in love with the city. All this time I kept telling Gordon that Boston is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen 😍
Your video is really inspiring me
So cool....thank you!👍😀👍
This is an old video, but here are some comments anyway:
1. The Moynihan Train Hall was converted from an old Post Office. Since mail no longer travels by train, and there is far less of it today, the Post Office wasn't really needed so it's a bit of a replacement for the old Pennsylvania station that was razed in the early 1960's.
2. New York, like many US cities, has many homeless people Thus, seating only in cordoned off areas for ticketed passengers only (same at Grand Central Terminal, where long bench seats were removed and the waiting room hidden in the basement.)
3. The NE Regional isn't long distance by US standards, but a cross between a commuter train and long distance train.
4. The rail right of way along the Connecticut coast is very old and winding, so even the Acela goes slowly. Acela is a bit faster mostly because of fewer stops, not higher speed. The good news is that the overhead wires and track are all pretty new or renovated, so the trains no longer suffer from heat related, sagging wire delays (those from NYC to DC do).
5. NYC's surviving iconic train station is Grand Central Terminal, which serves Metro North Railroad's commuter trains north along the Hudson River and east to Connecticut. Trains to Long Island have recently been added, in a massive new underground addition.
I've taken this trip plenty of times. So nice to see you take it too Renata. By the way I like snagging a seat in the dining car. Easier access to food and the plugs. Also ill usually take the right sided seats going northbound to enjoy the views of the Long Island Sound.
Thank you for sharing. We will have to get the LI sound side next time we take this train. 👍
There are lots of Portuguese people in south eastern Mass (from the whaling industry). My mother is from Boston and she is 1/2 with her ancestors from the Azores. Be sure to visit the North Church and ol’ Iron Sides.
Thanks for sharing. Gordon has a Portuguese friend in Canada who had relatives in the area....from the Azores. Keep watching, we cover the historical trail 👍😀
Oh.. not to mention William Bradford came over on the Mayflower to Plymouth rock (not much to see there) and started the first Thanksgiving….just saying
@@wbradford84 Oh wow!!! How nice!!
Happy travelling 🚂
Thank you very much 👍😀👍
رائع رحله جميله وترجمه ممتازه
شكرا ريناتا
شكرا لمشاهدتك👍😀
You should do a train through Colorado!
Yes, I know 👍👍 thanks for recommending
Hello😊 I’m traveling from New York to Boston this March alone with 2 luggages. Can you tell me where you keep you big luggage? Thanks 🙏
There is a compartment near the door for luggage. Note, you have to carry on yourself or they may have porters to help for a tip...can't quite remember. Enjoy both cities....they are fantastic
4:14 looks like Coop City, Bronx.
I had to look that up. I think you are right
Renata, your vídeos nos deram vontade de ir em Boston tbm… teus vídeos estão influenciando d+ nossa vida pra melhor hehehhe.
Grato pelo video Renata.
Obrigada!
always wonderful video
Love from Ahmedabad, India
Thanks a ton. Let me ask you, now that India has opened...what is the situation? We would love to visit India but want to make sure it is the right time.
@@RenataPereiraTV thanks for reply yes true.
just yesterday i was know it from newspaper. I'm sure you too much enjoy if you visit India. you are most welcome.
thank you.
@@prakashmena2519 Thanks to you
Как всегда,видео супер.На поезде путешествовать всегда интересно,давно я ездил на поезде,в отпуск в 95 году,5 дней путешествие длилось 😁
Привет и спасибо. Куда вы ездили поездом?
@@RenataPereiraTV Из города Сургут Россия в Казахстан,с тремя пересадками ехали,вот и получилось что пять суток ехали.С одной стороны конечно утомительна такая длинная поездка,с другой стороны очень интересно,много городов поселили и посмотрели
Так круто. Какая была ваша любимая остановка
Apa khabar from malaysia hehe,hmm suddenly gave me idea to travel with train hehe,btw nice train trip anyway
Thank you. Yes, travel by train is easy...do consider when available. Thanks for watching
Olá! Estávamos aguardando ansiosos os novos vídeos. Onde vocês guardaram os carros durante essa viagem a NY?
3:58 that was interesting your comment on their being no seat belts. I know no trains here in the UK have seat belts and no trains I have been on in Spain, France, Japan or other countries had them either. Do some trains in the world have seat belts? Just interested. It maybe makes sense that they should!
Yeah, for some reason I was expecting seat belts, don't know why... If I'm not mistaken I guess the trains we took in Southeast Asia had.
Great timing, I will be making this journey next summer so this was really helpful to see. I had heard that you should sit on the right hand side of the train for the best views once out of New York, having sat on the left hand side would you agree or disagree with this?
Hello. Leaving from NYC, left hand side to see the city skyline and then right hand side to see the water as you get thru Conn/RI. We have 4 other NY videos...do check them out. Enjoy your trip next year.
@@RenataPereiraTV Thanks for that Renata. I will definitely check out your other videos!
I think you are making the right choice for not taking Acela, which usually takes 3.5hours with out of proportion fare. Hope there will be some kind of upgrade to 125mph or 150mph system which should make travel between these two cities in less than 2 hours.
Hello and thanks. Yes, I read that there is an idea to build a new high speed train connecting the 2 cities.
@@RenataPereiraTV Pray hard it will be built sooner 🙏🙏🙏.
What do you think about them New York trains are they better than the trains from Brazil
Definitely yeah. Brazil doesn't have long-distance passenger trains, unfortunately. There are only regional ones, used mainly for local tourism. So this train was a pleasant surprise 😉
@@RenataPereiraTV oh so you are going with the New York trains
Would love to do that journey,looks fantastic
I hope you get the chance as the area is very charming
Which train is this old or the acela train? Is the south station close to downtown and all main attractions
South Boston train station is right downtown tho you may need an Uber to get to your hotel with bags. Otherwise, we were walking the whole time. I believe the Acela.
Si te gusto este servicio de Amtrak deberias de tratar el Amtrak California zephyr va de Chicago a San Francisco muy bonito
¡Hola Jesus! Sí, me gustaría mucho. Ojalá un día lo haremos 😍
Very nice Video 👍
Thank you 👍
Great video! You should know that the Thames is not pronounced "temz" in Connecticut. It is pronounced "thames", with a TH, rhymes with James.
Thanks for the info! AND thank you for watching.
God bless you and your family
Thank you Adeel
Acela isn’t much faster than the Regional (I’ve used both). The only advantage that Acela has is that the trains are nicer. Acela has reserved seating. The Northeast Regional doesn’t (with the exception of Business Class, which is actually more expensive than a regular Acela ticket).
Amtrak dining is overpriced. Buy food at the station and then bring it onboard.
Thank you for your tips👍😀
I have travelled on Acela. It shaves off an hour on your trip. That's it. And it costs more.
Yes, it is a little bit faster but not super fast like European or Japanese trains. For us, who can work on a train, we prefer to save a little. There is talk of a faster high speed train to be built in that corridor. Lets see if they can get it off the ground.
I did Kissimmee to Baltimore it was awesome
Very cool. Sleeper? How many stops?
Renata: I am hoping that you & your lovely husband shall please visit Philadelphia, PA. after your Boston,MA. trip soon next month 2021!
I hope we can too with DC
As someone who travels from NYC to Boston often, the train price is not worth it. Yes you need some travel time when you travel by plane, the main chunk of time being from Manhattan to the airport but Boston's airport is like 15 min to the city center.
I hear ya.
You can get Amtrak tickets from Boston to NYC for as little as $43. You will spend far more that in cabs to and from both airports.
Hi renata. Loved the video! Can you please tell me how much luggage can 1 passenger carry on this journey? 🙏😊
Not really sure as we were not scanned and had to take our own luggage on. Here is a link to Amtrak luggage policy...but I am not sure what they really follow as this was my first trip in this corridor.
If your early they have a lounge for 1st class passengers
So he is right pays to be early❤😊
HAHA, thanks for sharing. How much more are 1st class tickets?
Nice video but if the Shinkansen in Japan is a 10 on 10, what do you rate the train NYC to BOS? ...Just wondering. Cheers
True no comparison bro.
Not as fast and less modern interior design. But the fact that one can sit and work and its pure pleasure vs having to take a plane.
No question that is the best train route in America even the “slow” train is Bette than other Amtrak routes. It’s all downhill from that train. Ny to Boston in no way is “long” distance
Gracias Renata por este blog que descubrí hoy 22 octubre 2021; Hice este trayecto en 2008 desde Boston a Ny en unos buses 🚍 que llegaban a la Canal Street y lafayette la verdad eran unos que ya no hacen mas el recorrido por ser poco seguros eran algo así como Fonwua o se pronuncia así ! me encantó el vídeo Gracias y les mirare su contenido.También disfruto muchísimo viajar con mi marido!
Que bueno, muchísimas gracias 😊. También hice unos viajes en bus hace muchos años en otras partes de los EEUU y igual, no me gustó. Por eso hoy prefiero los trenes o los coches 😉. Que tengas una excelente semana 😘
@@RenataPereiraTV Gracias desde Santiago Chile .
Hi Renata I really enyoied your videos
I Will Travel with my family to New York on December 31 to live new years Eve in Manhattan. We Will be in the Hampon inn Grand Central near time square, but I was checking and to be in the place where de ball drops is very complicated.

Thanks a lot

Hello Fenranado. I don't live in NYC and have never experienced New Years there but I got this link and this should help generate some ideas.

@@haryprawiradharma2300 We’d love to 😍
Good video to training Inglish
Cool we have many videos👍😀
Thank uou good video
Thank you too
Hi renata, I just need guide/direction how to manage my trip. Arriving Boston in late June 2022 but my plane does not land until 1050pm. I’m wishing to go to New York by train from here. Is there accomodation at Boston airport? Alternatively I can train directly from Boston that same day. Where can I get the train from Boston airport? You mentioned your hotel in NY is just right next to train station. So which hotel is it? My conference in Boston does not start until July 3. So I have some time to kill and I wish to spend that in New York. THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
We stayed at Fairfield Inn and suites across the street from Penn Station's new building, in NYC. Arriving at 10:50 at night you would be lucky to get to the train station say midnight. Then it is a 4 hour ride to NYC from Boston.
In Boston, South Station is the train station closest to the airport and I believe the bus, from the airpot, to it is free. There are a few hotels close to Logan airport but Boston is expensive. Plenty of hotels downtown Boston but you would need to Uber/Taxi to the train station if you have many bags.
I hope that helps in your search
@@RenataPereiraTV thank you so much
Nice
Thanks
It was a good video, but don't connect as the 4:31 free WiFi doesn't have a keymark. WiFi without a key mark can be attacked by a virus by a malicious person or personal information can be stolen. You need to be careful in the future.
We use a VPN 😉

OK.
Thank you for the good video 👍
