RSVP Closed. Contact me if you are interestedHi Folks,
A road trip (or call it a track-trip) of different kind across the
beautiful landscapes and cities. It is essentially a Urban Backpack
trip as it s gonna be roughing it along the way. Meaning: We are not
in train cabins/roomlette.
We are doing this using Amtrak s USA Rail Pass (more on this below) It
is a single flat fare that is good for 30 days and allows you longer
stops up to 10 times. I have come up with a route uses those stops in
some good cities for sightseeing and layovers.
