From one Gator Navy Vet to another, I tell you that you will enjoy the hell out of your journey across the country on Amtrak. My advice to you is to get yourself a sleeper accommodation. And make sure you have a travel companion, the more people on the reservation, the cheaper it would be per person traveling. The food is much much better on the trains leaving out of Chicago going west. And with sleeper reservation, the food is included in your ticket prices. I would love to see you do a video on your journey across the country. If you would like to know more on my tips on traveling across the country on Amtrak, check out my channel to see my travels on Amtrak.

I grew up on amtrak! Im gonna take my kids on a ride soon

[@MattDV]

I want to go on another trip too, soon.

[@jeycee]

Folly Beach! I know it well!! The best tacos of my life were there til the joint closed.

[@MattDV]

Oh Yea, I love it too.

[@ronsandgren1]

That's crazy $6 for a grilled cheese sandwich that wasn't very good. I'd ride on an Amtrak train instead of an airplane now and I flew in an airplane in the late 80's to California in 1988 and back from 1988 to '90 and I went to Nashville from Ohio a couple of times in 1998 and 2001 too.

[@MattDV]

Hi Ron, thanks for your comment.

[@beverlybacon8523]

I truly enjoyed the scenery, but the food oh well you can't win them all ,but thank GOD for traveling mercy !!!!!!!

[@MattDV]

Hi Beverly, yes. Just meditating and watching the towns go by was brilliant.

[@tashakhanway6619]

Nice video as always. I live in Maryland. I've taken Amtrak to New York. I've also taken trips to the Carolinas. 🤗

Your trip looked like it was a blast. I am so ready to travel this summer. Blessings to you Matt!

[@MattDV]

Yes, it was, and Yea, go for it. I love Travel.

I’m taking the Amtrak next week to go to Virginia for my Family Reunion. I usually take food with me . The hospitality on the train is quite nice though , I’ll give them that 💯

[@tanyabrown5637]

I wish I was home when you came down. I am originally from Jersey but live in Charleston could have shown you around. Next time hope you had an enjoyable time.

[@MattDV]

@@tanyabrown5637 yes that would have been cool.

Matt, I absolutely love when you say “Yall thought this was a Game”😂😂😂😂😂 You are so beautiful! Lastly, cousin needs to be featured more often, I truly enjoyed her and Uncle/Cousin😂

[@MattDV]

lol. Thank you.

[@Jskinner801]

I definitely gotta do the amtrack ride cross country, bucket list

[@travelandeats8518]

Nice train video. I love trains. Connecticut to nyc or to Newark. All by train! We need more trains in USA

[@MattDV]

I agree; we need to upgrade our train game.

[@surrealchemist]

I think the amtrak burgers aren’t bad. The nice thing is you can bring on pretty much anything, so you can pack a cooler with extra food. If you get a roomette you can even have some adult beverages of your own.

[@MattDV]

Thanks for sharing. I will get a roomette on the cross country. Well that's the plan. The meals are included. Can't wait.

[@davidtrent1245]

I’m glad to see your subscription numbers are rising!

[@jaedubz5875]

Looks like you had a good time on the Amtrak. I've ridden before, they can be slow, but relaxing, seeing the scenery if any is nice. That Cheese Sammich tho was not!😂

[@wowsthisandthat]

Hey Matt DV, welcome to Richmond VA!! Next time you come by let's hit a nearby restaurant!! Route 33 hss some great food and is literally 5 minutes from the train station.

[@jelaine7532]

Hi Matt! I was hoping that grilled cheese sammy tasted good. For $6, they could've popped that puppy into a toaster oven to make it taste a little bit freshly made. From the look of it, you definitely needed that $3 bottle of water. LOL! Peace!

[@hayze2711]

I took the Amtrak from NYC to Tampa . It was an experience, but never again 😂

[@MattDV]

LOL. I plan to do a cross-country next.

You did pretty good. Amtrak was only about an hour late getting into Newark. I try to never get food on the train. Bring your own -- energy bars, dried fruit, nuts, peanut butter cracker packs, water, etc. Only thing I would get on the train is a can of soda or a bottle of water.

[@MattDV]

Hey Jeff yes that’s smart. I love peanut butter jelly sandwiches during the trip. Next I plan to go across country. Stay tuned . As always, thanks, my friend .

Matt, when you come to California I surely hope that I get an opportunity to get a chance to meet you. Even if only a stop at the Amtrak station for one of the breaks. I’m located in Northern California, Sacramento (capital).

Coupla' comments on this one. I caught the Gullah from the watermelon man, and I actually understood most of what he said, which surprised me. As for the Amtrak trip, I've done quite a few over the decades from the '70s and on, but I know one thing.....I'll never travel coach again over a long distance. It can be good, some of the onboard staff were great and beyond great, but the food is like survival rations and some of the railroad staff (since the conductors down south work for the freight railroad) are less than pleasant and often racist and nasty. That's my take. I used to ride to both Birmingham, Alabama and Florida in the '80s and '90s in sleepers with kids, and it was all a lot different. If you do decide to go out to the West Coast by Amtrak, I suggest your research it well as far as routes, prices, and amenities, since from what I read on various rail sites, things have gotten progressively worse. I'm thinking of going up to Canada, taking their VIA cross-country Canadien, and driving back down to California and/or the Southwest. We'll see. Either way, thanks for this, it kinda brought things up to date.
