3:17 LET'S GOOOO!! This is the first time someone ever used my music for something. Damn you're underrated...

[@FunkadelicPeach]

Duuuuude!!! So great to see you stopped by :) I hope you liked the way the track was featured!! Thanks for allowing me to use it. Great little tune :) good luck with you and your music!!! I hope you stick around with the channel and enjoy my future vids too :D

[@BeatCarrier]

Fits the mood perfectly

[@TonyFrankJazz]

@@jakethecake001 that's a nice groove to that soundtrack bro.

[@mrober35]

Thank you for this video! My wife and I are going to be taking the Amtrak from Denver to Virginia in May, so following this same route. Neither of us have ever been on a train, so it was nice to get a preview of what it'll be like!

[@FunkadelicPeach]

Hey awesome!! Enjoy your ride!! I am so glad this video finally found the right audience haha. Thanks for the nice comment :)

[@billkallas1762]

One night, OK, two nights....Um maybe, three nights, ....I don't think so.

[@vuho2075]

Now you know what victims of torture have to endure

[@keith9786]

Yeah I can't ride coach either, like if I get 2 hours of sleep I'm lucky.

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@billkallas1762 yeah dude. Brutal stuff. Lol. It was GOING to be 4 nights if I didn’t cut it short 🥴

[@vuho2075]

Start drinking. Keep on drinking. Journey will be over in no time

[@FunkadelicPeach]

lmfao. thanks for watching :)

[@ckos3041]

WE'RE VLOGGIN BABYYYYYYYY

[@FunkadelicPeach]

YESSIRRRRRR!!! Thank you for watching!! I hope you enjoyed :)))

[@CountryMusic527]

Very nice. I'm a rail enthusiast and I really enjoy Amtrak, even though it's a slow way to travel. But I think 40 hours would be too long for me. I have yet to experience any Amtrak travel outside the east coast. Happy you're back to making videos

[@FunkadelicPeach]

Yoooooo !!! Always great to see comments from you, of course :) Nice!! What Amtrak rides have you done before??? It was a really cool experience. I've heard the Denver to San Francisco stretch is actually really quite incredible. I am ALSO happy I'm back to videos and streaming on twitch. It feels really good to be creative. Thanks for making time to watch the vid and comment even tho ur crazy busy :D I super super appreciate it, as always :)

[@CountryMusic527]

@@FunkadelicPeach Only the Vermonter to northern Vermont (beautiful but very slow) and the northeast corridor (Washington DC to Boston). For a year the Vermonter was replaced by a bus north of Springfield, MA and that wasn't as fun of a journey. I hope to be able to watch your streams again too

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@CountryMusic527 Nice!!! Sounds cool :) "The Vermonter" is a badass name. Thanks (as always) for your support, it means a TON :)

[@songsan807]

Been on an Amtrak once in 1992 from LA to San Diego for school trip. So I would consider myself a NOOB on trains. Some great tips. Looking forward to my real train ride later this year.

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@songsan807 wow awesome!! Have so much fun and enjoy the journey!

[@Schnauzerhaus2]

While pricier than coach tickets, a roomette is so much nicer. You get an actual bed to sleep in, 4 free meals a day, which you canhave in either the dining car or your room, plus you also have access to the showers. You should definitely do another amtrak trip and stay in one 😎

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@Schnauzerhaus2 I would definitely love to! In my case, a roomette cost about 7 times more than my coach seat, so I decided it was not worth it. I was still plenty comfy, all things considered!

[@Jetski_Journals]

So, my question is should I pony up and pay the $1,200 to travel in a roomette, or the $200 to travel by couch? (I plan to travel from Cincy to LA, then fly back) I’m just not sure if the sleeping arrangements are comfortable.

[@FunkadelicPeach]

Honestly, I was totally fine in my seat! I was glad to save the money. I am 6 foot and 155lbs. I had enough room to fully stretch out and also sleep through the night. Even with someone sitting next to me (I just turned my head into the window each time haha). Have fun!

[@Jetski_Journals]

@@FunkadelicPeach Awesome! Thanks for the info! I’m 6’3, so knowing that there is plenty of room is a huge bonus as well! Hahahaha I’d do the same. Thanks! I appreciate you replying! (You don’t see that often, so it’s greatly appreciated!)

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@Jetski_Journals yeah any time! This is one of those videos I put a lot of time into and it didn’t end up getting many views so I love being able to reply and engage with peeps. Have fun on the trip! Good luck!

[@Jetski_Journals]

@@FunkadelicPeach I’m sorry that it didn’t get many views! It was a great video. I’ve watched others, and they weren’t as insightful as yours. Keep up the great work!

[@TonyFrankJazz]

I love the "Just Friends" Bossa groove soundtrack!

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@TonyFrankJazz thanks so much for watching :))

[@bobby_fett]

I would have never thought of traveling by train. I've got to try it sometime

[@FunkadelicPeach]

Bobby!!! Thanks for watching :)) I hope you really enjoyed the video. And yes! Traveling by train is definitely a unique experience. Thanks again for the comment and support.

[@marilynsue4273]

Around the holidays, it might be easier to take the train one way, then fly back. Cheaper, too. Wipes and spray sanitizer a must in coach.

[@FunkadelicPeach]

Good suggestions for sure!!! Thanks for watching my video :) I really really appreciate it!

[@THintz-jc4sl]

Was it safe to leave your property at your seat when you got up to use the restroom??

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@THintz-jc4sl I took it with me! I was not taking any chances. I left my clothes bag at the seat but took my electronics bag

[@northwoodsartist]

It seems you missed something! -- unlike on a plane, you DO NOT have to sit in the same space all the time! You can walk around; I spend most of my time in the observation car -- nice comfy "couches" and views, some booths to spread out your work or etc., (with outlets) and there are booths downstairs in the cafe/bar area too, often quiet and unoccupied. And remember, train stations are downtown, no getting to a remote airport...no long lines, baggage search, xrays, metal detectors, or luggage weight limits. PS -- trains are very seldom delayed due to weather, as planes often are!

[@Luizz07]

When the peach is peachin'

[@FunkadelicPeach]

ayyyy you know it, lol. Thanks so much for watching this video!! It really means a lot.

[@markfrye9178]

So you think that if you were't traveling alone it would have been easier? Just curious, cause I would be dong that too.

[@FunkadelicPeach]

I think traveling alone made it easier actually. If I was with someone else, I would’ve been worried more about our collective needs rather than just my own.

[@shelleysmith9532]

I enjoy the train

[@CainSouthern2112]

I've watched Dillon's travel reports video on this

[@FunkadelicPeach]

Niceeee! Hope you liked the video, Cain!! Thanks for commenting :))

[@theoldwashingtonresident3450]

It’s been a while

[@FunkadelicPeach]

It sure has been!! Thanks for watching :)) I hope you enjoyed!!! Great to see familiar names in comments

[@AlexCab_49]

I love train travel but after 1000 miles I'll prefer to fly

[@MrBettyw95]

Last year me and my daughter left Everett to go to Portland Maine we took Amtrak cuz it was cheaper we had coach so I brought my sheets my blanket my two pillows my snack play carry-on bag my change of clothes and all the stuff I need I got my gal on flippers went to bed got up went down to the bathroom that's that's got a seating area got cleaned up went and got my coffee my juice add cereal on me already spam a tuna fish bread stuff to drink I took the Empire Builder down to Chicago 4 hour wait in Chicago 20 hours from Chicago to New York a 12-hour layover in New York and then 4 hours to Portland Maine it took me 76 hours on Amtrak and the cafeteria car I got my coffee and milk brought my own cereal but the dining car they had opened for Coach passenger breakfast was $20 lunch was 25.00 and dinner was 37 to $40 three course meal that was a beautiful trip what I learned from that is not over pack a bunch of food cuz I over packed everything I had fun can you can walk on the train you go to the sightseeing car go down to the cafeteria take breaks when they stopped at the train the only thing I did not like is the long layover in New York I wanted the cheeseburger so I went out and round the corner and found a good cheeseburger place and I'm thinking about doing it again I just don't like to travel by myself because if you go coach cuz it's cheaper I don't want some stranger sitting beside me that I don't know I also brought a stanchion cord plugged it in and put it around underneath my seat behind in front of my seat and plugged in my DVD player my cell phone and I I brought DVD to watch you do not have internet turn on your phone movies if you download it onto your phone but it was a great time I'm sorry this gentleman didn't care for it too much but it's a beautiful way to see the sights and things that you haven't seen before

[@christimorgret7818]

What I'm hearing is that all these Americans who think infrastructure isn't "sexy" or "a good use of our tax dollars" need to take a ride on Amtrak.

[@FunkadelicPeach]

@@christimorgret7818 lol! It was definitely an eye opening experience for sure
