3. I am hoping to take what I'm calling a land cruise on Amtrak.

The Southwest Chief from Lamy, NM, to Chicago. Then the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle. Next the Coast Starlight from Seattle to Los Angeles. And finally, the Southwest Chief from LA to Lamy. The entire trip will be nine days.

I love Amtrak. I've taken it several times in recent years, always get a roomette. I also prefer one on the lower level, as there's a lot more privacy there.
