The total cost for this trip for two separate auto train bedroom suites with their own bathrooms and showers, transporting our car, and priority vehicle offloading ($60 and WELL worth it) was right about $1240 total. If we had shared a one bedroom suite, the cost wouldāve been right about $900 total. Coach starts at $180. Roomettes are $600+. All prices include car transport. Meals are only included with bedrooms, but you can buy food on board as well.

Rail travel is THE civilized way to travel. Amtrak is under-rated. I enjoyed my trips on Amtrak & would love to go with them again. I wish we had more extensive rail service in the US.

in my book, the major benefit is, you are relieved of the 'road stress'.

You right, treat people nicely without expecting anything back in return.
Do good and good will follow you!

Did that Trip with my mom back in 73/74? Loved the trip back then probably can't do stuff i did now days. Like hang out between the cars and smoke a cigarette. Your awesome doing that with your dad š I'm 62 now thanks for the memories āššØ

Thanks for your honest review, the wifey and I went thru a nightmarish experience on the Auto train and weāll never do it again, tho you had it easier than us I wouldnāt discourage anyone from trying it cuz they might actually enjoy it š

My dad died last year (2020) and I would give anything for another hour with him. Hug your dad for me.

Sure, you may not recommend this trip NOW - but get a few more years behind you (and the need to hit the restroom on a frequent basis...) and suddenly it doesn't sound so bad! The AutoTrain runs for 900 miles and cuts off some of the most boring sections I-95 - which can get pretty long if you have to make frequent pitstops. Never underestimate the opportunity to walk around, watch the scenery go by, and avoid those crazy snowbird drivers all while enjoying your favorite adult beverage! We've done the rooms and the roomettes, but frankly for just one night the coach seats are perfectly fine.

1. My wife and I have made this run 3 times, in a bedroom each time. There seems to be a pricing incentive for southbound travelers in March, when northbound trains are full, and southbound trains are half-empty. If your departure is soon after the time change from EST to EDT, you'll max out the sightseeing opportunity.
2. The train may appear to be lightly loaded, but they have to provide enough seating+bedrooms+autoracks for everyone in both directions.
3. All bedrooms are in Superliner cars (no tunnel restrictions). Lower deck contains 4 roomettes, 1 family BR & 1 handicapped BR + toilet(s) & shower. When passenger headcount is low, that area can be VERY private (as in unoccupied).
4. Published departure from Lorton is 1600, but all seats and rooms are "reserved", so if everyone's on board, the train can leave early. There may, or may not, be an announcement.
5. It's been my experience that we had wi-fi and internet "all the way". Wouldn't hurt to bring a DVD or two.
6. Meals are included with roomettes and bedrooms.

Now this guy is my kind of gentlemen. He speaks words of true wisdom. Love one another as yourself. Plus he likes Jack Daniels and trains and family. My kind of guy.

Just booked a roommette r/t on this run. $1900!! I have an older car and first looked into renting a small SUV for the trip down for 9 days but that was $2400 without gas, hotels or a flight back. Appreciate the opportunity to see what we're in for this week.

My parents and I did AutoTrain for the first time back in 2016 and we really loved it. My Dad is getting older and doesn't wanna drive I-95 anymore. Our cabin had lots of room, with plenty of space for our overnight bags. We'll never drive to FL again.

I agree so much about doing something like this with an aging parent, while theyāre able. My mother died of covid last year. Five years ago I took her on vacation to the Smokey Mountains. It wasnāt a train journey but it was a terrific time. I miss her profoundly, and the memory of that fairly recent vacation is a great comfort.

This brought back a flood of memories and tears for me. One of the last trips I took with my parents was this North > South helping my parents get to Florida for the winter. My Dad passed away not long after. I will always be grateful for the time I had with them both. Thank you for this.

That was cool. Thank you for the shower experience, š blessed to have time with your dadššš

I did the auto train with my Mom last year, when she was laid low with a bizarre type of shingles, called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. We shared a roomette. I was in the top coffin - I mean ābunk.ā She wanted to go to sleep at 7:30. Enough said. Your trip with your Dad, including bourbon, was a much more enjoyable journey.

Well, YouTube just allows me to give one thumb up, but I would like to give multiple thumbs up: one for the video as a whole, one for explaining the importance of having time with your loved ones and at least one for telling and showing us to treat everyone with respect without expecting something in return. Chapeau, my friend.

Your words about "do it now" with your parents hits home. I lost mine years ago and I don't do well in a car because of medical issues. So my wife and I are "going to do it now" to go see our daughter and granddaughter in Arlington after the summer rush is over. Thanks for your wise encouragement and enjoyable video!

Above all, you are a good son. I'm sure your dad is proud of you. Kudos mate.
