@@barrettpickett5603 I’m glad the video helped! The wrap is supposedly getting phased out according to the one gal I spoke with - to give riders a better view

Yeah it’s hard to really convey the size of these cabins I feel like, so I hope that it helped.

@@lindanordlund6753 I didn’t know bidding up was available for coach to sleeper cabins. I believe they only hold 2 passengers. You would need to upgrade to a family bedroom for extra beds.

Thanks so much Don. I truly appreciate it.

@@Crimekathadesi nope no luggage restrictions

@@puttothetest it’s before the trip. On this journey I was sent an email about a week before departure asking if I wanted to bid up - which took me to the portal to do that. One the trip I just booked it was available AFTER checkout on the confirmation page

@@NickGoesFar thanks so much! That’s a nice feature that they offer the option when it’s available.

🏆

@@suecav421 the views were so worth the step off the platforms though - just wow!

They’re a great team and from check in to getting back at the end of the trip they were top notch.

They have been updating the interiors on their trains, more of the new interiors are “out in the wild” now, I just haven’t been on an Amtrak train since making this video

It was a great pair of dives

Thanks! Helps that I really like being out on the water!

It was a great trip for sure! Congrats on your certification!

That’s awesome! What a great strategy!

My son and I are going to do the same in October. Have fun!

I mean, I suppose you could, though I’m not sure that you would get much benefit from it. The boat rate is the same, and the wrecks were all down below 70’ so unless you’re also freediving down that far, you may feel limited on what you can see.

They're the same seats - but I would say that the lower level is perhaps more isolated from the rest of the train, so maybe easier to get some shut-eye in? I rode in the upper level, I liked that it was on the same level as everything else, and had better views. The upper level is the "main" level on this route, it connects to the observation car, the dining car, etc. The lower levels are mostly bathrooms and storage.

@@NickGoesFar good to know I hope I can switch I thought the top was more isolated!! Thanks safe travels👍🏻

I'll say this - you're tougher than I am. I rode coach for the short trip from Seattle to Spokane after filming this and I couldn't imagine having to spend 46 hours in those seats. As for ordering steak and dessert - it's available to passengers in coach on a space limited basis, as in - if there isn't space you will not be able to order meals. The little cafe shop in the observation car will be your only source for snacks at that point.

@@NickGoesFar ihave driven back and forth in this route and I90 5-6times in my car w dog when I lived in Vancouver Wa. I think I can make due with the recline seat🤞👌🏻I’m 5’1” I’m frugal😆❤️✌🏻

This was such an amazing trip, God was fully at work in Panama. 🇵🇦

Thanks for the video Nick. Great to see all of the work being done in Jesus' name. Your folks share this video to me and actually I was kind of surprised I did not see a pop-up ad for "A Place for Mom" 😂

Thanks Mark! I had a lot of fun filming this, but had no idea how tired I would be by the end of it. Next time I do something like this, I think it will be in Europe!

@@NickGoesFar that will be great adventure just make sure u take your gopro so we can all see it!

Thanks @sociallywanderful! It was fun to put something like this together, I really am excited for what’s coming next!

I’m not sure when I’ll be back in Chicago, as of now it’s not in the books.

I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend!

I’ve never had a royal audience, so cool!

Ty

That’s awesome! Did you enjoy it!

Yes

Love you

It’s an awesome ride, super easy, and crazy scenic. How ya been buddy?

Looks awesome! It's going on the list!

Same! They played a good game (for all I know).

I’ll be going to more in the future I’m sure

It was an interesting experience. I don’t know that I would order it again, but I’m glad I tried it once.

It's awesome that both airports are connected like this - it was super convenient.

That’s going to be awesome! Enjoy!

I’m glad!

It’s a great trail, nicely maintained and the boardwalk at the end is amazing too.

I received an email from Amtrak a couple of weeks prior to our travel date inviting me to bid, it took me to a website specifically for that. If sleepers are fully booked though, they don’t send the email.

Technically either. If you’re going to Seattle you’ll be in one sleeper car, if you’re going to Portland you’ll be in the other. I prefer the Seattle route as the trip through the cascades is more scenic. The diner car goes to Seattle, the observation car goes to Portland.

It’s a great experience! Enjoy!

Glad I could provide some insight! I hope you enjoy the train ride!

How far is the Miami port from the Miami Brightline station?

And I don’t either. I flew in to Chicago to meet the train. All the late night stops, for the most part I slept through, and the steak was available all dinner services

I currently have a roomette purchased, but the bid on the mobile app started out at $360 for the bedroom. Since I am riding by myself, I think I'll keep the roomette. I am returning to Detroit First class on United and that will cover the cost of that ticket for me. :)

Right, but I didn’t say it was the fastest train in the world. And last I checked neither Barcelona or Rome are in Florida…so you can’t really compare the two.

Not sure what that means, but thanks for commenting. 👍

Thanks man! I appreciate that.

It was a lot of fun, honestly what an easy way to get around, and for such low fares!

The pass works great, I had no issues outside of timing with the blackout dates. I’m definitely going to be using it more! Probably not every day though like in the video! 😂

Thank you so much! It was a lot of work, a lot of fun, and wooo was I tired by the end of it.

What makes you say that?

@@NickGoesFar If you gota ask, your the problem!

@@jhaedtler you’re*

No, because of the blackout dates the only flight I was able to get only had me connecting through Phoenix for a handful of hours. My big challenge there was finding a place in the terminal to sleep 😴

@@NickGoesFar Gotcha!
