22 HOURS in FIRST CLASS on AMTRAK SLEEPER TRAIN (Chicago to Texas in Family Suite) - Worth it?

We embarked on a 22-hour journey aboard the Texas Eagle sleeper train! Join us on the epic long-distance train trip going from Chicago to Dallas - crossing the USA from north to south.

We'll take you on a tour of the entire Amtrak sleeper train: from a roomette tour, Bedroom tour, and Family Room (the largest and most expensive first class private compartment available), to the meals aboard the train and even the shower.... and we'll tell you the pros and cons of riding amtrak across the United States - including the price we paid for a single night's ride.

Whether you want a Coach Seat, Amtrak Roomette, Amtrak Bedroom, Amtrak Family Bedroom, or something else, this video will help you narrow down the right choice for you and give you a realistic look at what traveling by train across the US is like with a family!

Originally from the Midwest of the USA, we moved to the #blackforest in 2013 and quickly embraced #expatlife. As American expats living in #Germany, things weren't always easy, but we've grown to love our life in Germany. We started this #travelvlog​ to share our experiences with friends and family, and to help those who are interested in moving overseas! Whether you are interested in moving abroad, working abroad, studying abroad, raising a family abroad, or just want to #traveleurope, we're here to give you a first person look at what lies ahead. 😊🎥🌎
