I've done a couple Amtrak trips, but now I want to do a "bucket list" trip, Dallas (home), Chicago, Portland, LA. Dallas with a couple of days at each city. I'll be staying with family/friends so I don't need hotels or rental cars. But I do need some help. The Amtrak site is pretty bad for planning, their recommendation is just to keep trying multiple itineraries on different days. Getting a roomette/sleeper seems to rule out Railpass or any discount programs. Most of the non-Amtrak web sites are geared towards the first time traveler or those wanting vacation packages. Am I stuck with brute force and ignorance or can anyone recommend the best way to approach this?
