Would you pay nearly $2K for a 43-hour Amtrak ride just to dodge Thanksgiving airport chaos? I did—and honestly, it was like a cozy, retro adventure. Think: epic views, shared meals with strangers, and zero WiFi (hello, real conversations!). Sure, it’s slower and pricier than flying, but the vibes? Immaculate. If you’re over the stress of airports and want a throwback travel experience, long-haul Amtrak is a total bucket list move. #Transportation #ThanksgivingTravel #Amtrak
