Hi,
I am planning on taking my ex mother in law on an Amtrak trip next year. This is part of her bucket list and I want to make it as memorable as I can.
We are in Cincinnati and I definitely want to do the California Zephyr. Is it better to do east/west or west/east??
Also I am torn between the Coastal Starlite and LA to SOuthwest Chief or taking the Empire Builder?? Any thoughts? When I try to do roundtrip from CIncinnati it doesn't give me the option to take the Coastal Starlite to LA and then the Southwest Chief. It routes me on a bus for 8 hrs. Would really like to avoid that.
Neither one of us have ever ridden on a train and we will get a roomette. She will be 73, but a very young one.
Any suggestions deeply appreciated. I don't even know anyone who has done this to even ask.
Thanks again,
Kathi
