My Amtrak Experience In The Roomette Tucson to Los Angeles

Heading home from backpacking in Arizona aboard the Amtrak. I spent the money and tried out the Roomette experience on the Amtrak. I had many layovers and rode many forms of transportation. Might not do that again.

You should have gone to the lounge in LA station to wait out your layover. It opens at 5:00am, and was a perk of your roomette ticket. departing or arriving. Snacks, drinks, and quiet lounge.

Oh. I didn't know that!! Nor did I see it anywhere. Now I know for next time.

@@HeyItsTim I recommend ear plugs and an eye mask for sleeping. You also could have called Amtrak and asked about some sort of refund/compensation for your first class trip that was cancelled and put on the commuter train.

thanks for going in-depth on the Amtrak... i've been wanting to take one of those east to NM or AZ from Union Station. I have not been to Union Station in many years, since before they remodeled it. Thanks again for the great videos Tim!

[@HeyItsTim]

I love the train. It's very easy, in regards to getting on and off. No security or long lines.

Yes, I'd tell you if your beanie/tuke was inside out! 😆I think those little roomettes are fabulous, but I'd have to have earplugs with me and take some kind of sleep aid or I would not sleep on the moving train... My cousins in South Carolina like to get those roomettes when they overnight down to Orlando and go to Disney World. Great video! Hope you and your foot have recovered. 🙂

[@HeyItsTim]

Thanks. Yea my foot is doing good now. 100%. Going to Disneyland tomorrow
