When I tried to make the reservation online for approx. $1,200, it wouldn't take my credit card...BofA security. So, I called BofA and then Amtrak directly and she got me the exact same deal for $829. I got a senior discount, because I can.
The itinerary that I have has no long stop-overs (6 hrs in Chicago), but Amtrak has all sorts of passes that allow you to get off for a few days here and there all over the country. The roomette has two fold-down bunks. However, for me, doing this with two people would be cramped. Even if it were my girlfriend, 3 1/2 days would be stretching it. She'll fly.
And not off-topic, because I'm headed to The Lake!
