Amtrak Vacation Grand USA Rail Experience For 16 Nights

[@Livinlife33]

More and more you guys lifestyle is becoming more appealing to me. Still have a ways to go raising kids and working 9 to 5 but it would be exciting someday to explore the world and get paid doing it. Thank you for showing me what’s possible.😊

[@purplelover9633]

I wish I had a person to do things like this with 😊

[@sergeygankin45]

Great job, you guys! You are quickly becoming my favorite travel couple!

[@sandysmith6194]

I didn't realize this was a compilation of videos, several that are years old. My mistake - I was looking for a current review. I usually enjoy watching your reviews.

[@thesharpercoder]

Who cares? The point is that you can do a round trip riding different routes.

[@joemeyers3127]

@@thesharpercoder I care because they are sucking their long time fans into videos we soon realize we’ve already seen.

[@moonelysian86]

​@@thesharpercoder Amtrak lists this exact vacation route on their website as the "grand rail experience" . I came to youtube looking for people who did that exact vacation on amtraks website. This video popped up, had I known it was a compilation of videos from years ago, I wouldn't have clicked on this video.

Allie next time you’re in Seattle you really need to go up space needle. It has awesome views and turns slowly. There is a restaurant at the top. I’m afraid of heights to , but this was amazing.

[@allysonblack5984]

Thanks once again for an informative and interesting video. Your videos are awesome thank you very much

[@showbadge6466]

Y’all help me wit my trip so much keep doing yall

[@gloriabrayshaw]

I really enjoyed this video. Probably my favorite so far.

[@DorisSpaulding]

The photos are beautiful. You folks covered a lot of ground….not sure my legs could handle that. Enjoy your travels. I’m getting ready to plan our train vacay - won’t be as adventurous as yours.

[@jofleury2982]

Love your Videos! I get to see Beautiful Sites via your Lens.

[@ddjones780]

I love watching your adventures! I hope to see more cruise adventures. I would love to see your take on the Virgin cruise line.

[@ednajohnson8771]

Its beautiful of hiking

[@ryanpollie3216]

My wife and I did a 20 day trip around USA in May '23. San Joaquin to LA, Suset Limited to LA to NOL. Fly to Miami. Drive to and from Key West. MIA to NYP on Silver Meteor. NYP to Boston on NW Regional. Back to NYP to catch Maple Leaf to Niagara Falls, Lake Shore limited to CHI, Zephyr home to MTZ. Amazing retirement celebration trip!!

[@pearlcalloway1441]

Hi there, Rob and Allie! Are there no restrooms facilities anywhere on the walking trails? I always have to e close to a bathroom! SMILE 😃. I enjoy your videos! I learn a lot!

[@deesalkelly3069]

love the new background music at the 45 min mark - its up lifting....fun - cheers (another great video)

[@TimDecker989]

Steak medium well! He's a monster. 😂

[@reginamorton162]

Love to look at your travels. Seems like you’ve been on every train more than once. Do you get bored?

[@Anthony-le8ro]

Snow in the Middle of May in the mountains not surprised 😮

[@kylel4361]

Another great video. Do you know if you have a sleeper cabin can you get a second appetizer or entrée kind of like cruising? Or does it cost extra?

[@WolfgangMotif]

I enjoy your videos a lot. I find them relaxing and help me to decompress. I have no problem with y’all re-editing or reusing footage, but please do away with the music beds and go with natural train sounds. Re-editing to provide for a music free experience would be most welcomed, even on older previously published footage, where you might want to softly voiceover your memories of your travels. I know you must have other stories to tell. ❤️

[@ritaloy8338]

I myself prefer the view between Gavoita and Santa Barbara if it is clear on the Coast Starlight.The views of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz Islands are great.

[@ronclark9724]

The Great Circle aboard Amtrak. The best vacation I ever took many years ago. Hope you enjoyed it. To past the time I read the latest Harry Potter book on my tour.

[@thesharpercoder]

The night view of Moynihan Train Hall in Manhattan at the 1:57:30 mark was awesome. Orange and Blue on Madison Square Garden on the left. The train hall in the center. And the Moynihan Food Hall lit up on the right. The trains depart from Penn Station, which is located underneath MSG. You take a long escalator ride from the Train Hall underneath the street to reach the track levels. Penn Station used to feel like a subway station on steroids until they built the Moynihan Train Hall. Nevertheless, Moynihan doesn’t approach the grandeur of Grand Central Terminal. The actual Grand Central Station is located below the Met-Life building. It has no basement. It’s multiple levels of train tracks.

Hi Rob & Allie, We just finished your KZbin posting. What a project this was! We really enjoyed it! We’re new to Amtrak. We vacationed in Europe and really enjoyed traveling by rail . Question for you: We noticed that when you changed trains you had a couple of days staying in a local hotel. We travel handicap so this would probably be a good idea for us too. Do you know if there is a listing of convenient hotels very close to the larger stations? Please keep up the good work. Hope to meet you sometime on the train.

[@theratrace999]

I took that trip over 20 years ago but in the opposite direction! Had a great time and the cost was less than $400.00 for the entire Amtrak ticket!

[@J.W.W.]

Why not Minot? Freezings the reason!!

[@Atlenna1]

Whatever happened to the two roometts rooms you two were supposed to get the next time you two took a train ride?

[@Leonardo-cq4zd]

Is this another reprised video from the vault? Helps to keep the view count flowing I suppose.

[@greeneggslamb9336]

It helps to bring new viewers up to date! 😊

[@Here4It78]

​@greeneggsIlamb9336 So why not add compilation? Stop it.

[@gregtrain1]

I'm riding VIA rails Ocean route in about A week. We'll be with A group going from Quebec City to Montoch. What'll I miss between Montreal and Quebec City?

[@edeinhorn6016]

I've been watching Rob and Allie's channel and videos for several years. I learned much from them and I've told others about their channel. But, this video's title, and the first minute or two of the video, is false advertising. The title and video intro makes you think they did 16 nights on multiple trains as a single vacation. They certainly did not. On the Empire Builder, Allie says they are traveling in May. Then, on another section of the video Rob says it is near Labor Day. On the Crescent, I can see a date on a sign in one of the Amtrak stations and it says "March 20". Look at the trees with and without leaves, depending on the train they are on. Look at the clothing people are wearing (sometimes warm-weather and sometimes cold-weather). I give Rob and Allie credit for having taken all these trips over the years and having built a KZbin following that allows them to live off their KZbin income. I give them credit and thank them for all the info they've conveyed to their viewers, like me, over the years. But this video is dishonest and I would have expected more from them. At the very least they could have explained in the comments that they were creating this video from 5 other videos they had made in the past. In the comments section they could have provided the links to those videos so we could watch, or re-watch, the original full-length video of each train trip. On their retirement channel, I believe they mentioned that they have moved to Thailand. That could explain why they needed to create this video, since they need to keep the channel active. With all of the above in mind, I will now be much more careful about whether I spend my valuable time watching one of their videos if I think it is merely a rehash of a previously uploaded video.

[@joemeyers3127]

I used to love the channel. Just post dates and these ‘new’ videos’ wouldn’t feel so deceptive

[@maxandmyamom]

When was this filmed?

[@wasmadeinthe80s]

I mean, if you watch the video she literally says "Wasn't expecting to see snow in the middle of May" when they are going into Washington so if I had to guess, probably some time near the middle of May.

[@joshuadominictoling5310]

I liked riding on Amtrak’s Long Distance Trains! May pack all your belongings from your house.

[@seppiluthold5014]

​​@@wasmadeinthe80s It seem this was filmed a few years ago. We have taken both the Zephyr and Empire Builder in the last year. I still see masks in the station, they also dont let you sit accross from eachother anymore. Its now 4 to a table. Finally the lobster cake, tamale and carrot cake have not been on the menu for some time now. So my guess is filmed in the middle of May 2022. Maybe 2023, but prob 2022.

[@nataliemkennedy_aboutthebooks]

Is the food free in the metro lounge?

[@theratrace999]

Do you tip each time you dine in the dining hall? Do you tip your room attendant daily (Attendants change daily sometimes).

[@lisalowery4849]

Hahahaha, Extra wine and then " our firsh, fresh air break."

[@nataliemkennedy_aboutthebooks]

I love the rails. How much was this ride?

[@Yesica1993]

You were in Chicago and didn't pick me up on the way? ;)

[@Charleshobson70]

Re-air?

[@DonaldFGuest]

Really enjoyed your beautiful pictures of Mt Rainier and the Cascades. Stunningly beautiful nature scenes. Thank you!

[@aloysiusfee1687]

👍 Luck on that Crescent Line 😲 😆 smh.

[@gordoncurvey6798]

I knew my post would be taken down. Truly sad.

[@Here4It78]

Why was it?

[@gisellestitt6124]

this looks like a trip I need to take. What was the cost?

[@rickibelden986]

When I am making reservations for Amtrak ,do i need to make reservations for each individual train route ?

[@josephconner4756]

I wondering if someone on Amtrak Train has a medical emergency on board of the Amtrak Train what happened.

[@garretjones9425]

So your home base is Chicago?

[@FrancesPeaslee]

Nice video but have seen this a couple years ago? Why keep posting same videos.

[@Shello58]

Yes, they HAVE been REPOSTING old videos for a while now..

[@greeneggslamb9336]

It works well for me as a new viewer! ❤

[@seppiluthold5014]

​@@greeneggslamb9336Except if you are relying on having some of those menu items. Some of those items havnt been on the menu in at least a year.

[@larkspin]

Is Alexa your daughter?

[@1fastwgn]

I triple dog dare you to do that trip in Coach seats like the rest of us Commoners do.

[@nataliemkennedy_aboutthebooks]

Yall did look tired

[@mommat1306]

Wow. You guys are gluttons for punishment. I did the CA Zephyr, and that was MORE than enough Amtrak for one lifetime.

**UNSUBSCRIBING After all these years👋 **Fed up with you reloading old videos!!. If we WANT to REWATCH we can go to your channel and re-watch. Quit presenting OLD videos as NEW!! It's disrespectful to your long time viewers. We're NOT naive OR stupid!!

[@joemeyers3127]

It’s so sad that two seemingly nice people are exploiting their long time fans

[@Homer500]

Another click bait rerun.

[@jasonmitchell6982]

I have to agree with you I wish they still had original videos.

[@josephrossignol2831]

How could it be a May entering Seattle and then Labor Day a few days later hiking the trails. This video is presented as one long circle trip. Again like several previous videos they are mixing and matching old videos fooling the public. Not necessarily a professional approach. Disappointing.

[@romanm9718]

That's not good.

[@thefreckledafrikan]

If you actually watch the video, you’ll see that they got off the train, she said they rented a car and she mentioned they spent a lil over 3 months at an undisclosed location or locations that was in the Mount Ranier area bc you can see they shared with us them hiking on different trails. So that explains being on a train in the Seattle area and then Labor Day on hiking trails….it wasn’t a few days later 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Then total nights spent on trains added up to ‘round 16 or 19 nights bc that was the plan for the trip…showing us how they got from point A back to point A again using the railway system. They made other overnight stops where they stayed for several nights, some for a couple nights, and some overnights too in different states. Don’t play wit’em! Play witcho mama

[@josephrossignol2831]

As I finish the video I recognized many snippets from other videos. Also they mentioned jet lag from their flight from Italy.. they advertise this video as a 15 night grand vacation. Obviously not so. Still I enjoy all their train journeys.

[@seppiluthold5014]

​@@thefreckledafrikanMaybe YOU should watch the video again. They are definitely mixing and matching old videos together. I have seen many of them before. In fact some of the menu items are no longer served. Some of the videos are from several years ago in fact. Probabely 2022. For another example look at the video of NYC. They arrive during winter time, at the vessel its spring, however by the time they walk over to the skyline it magically becomes summer. Then it goes back to spring. When they are in LIC by the Pepsi sighn its back to winter. They cobbled together a bunch of footage and said it was one trip. It is what it is.

[@WolfgangMotif]

Joseph, where are your travel videos?

[@David-l1g]

I just saw a video of them their not even in the United States right now and they said how they make their money to live on the videos they make give them a nice 15 thousand dollars a month from KZbin this whole thing is just a scam if you think i am kidding just look it up on KZbin they make a lot of videos not just train rides

[@David-l1g]

If you can't post something lately why post at all I watch a lot of people that travel by train and plane and out of all of them your the only 2 that eats all the time and you have to show everyone while you eat to plus do you have to tell us over and over how the room is set up I have never been on a train before but after seeing this over and over I could be blind and know where everything is i was planning a trip about 6 months from now on a train but after watching this crap each week I will just fly I love how you have to show everyone the trashed parts of each city you're going through I can't believe you actually have a travel business what a joke

[@Here4It78]

You guys are going to lose followers. Just say its compilation of trips. Smh.

[@Whoeverwhateverwhenever]

Your videos are all kind of the same 🤔

[@Yesica1993]

It's a train travel channel. They travel. On trains.

[@totalmediacominc.1603]

I know y'all from ATL, but stop the COKE drinking! Terrible for health.

[@phyl1042]

MYOB - people can drink what they want! Pepsi, however, is terrible.
