Jump On The Railroad Train to San Diego To Enjoy Your Next Great Vacation

October 27, 2009 by  

Maybe this is the time for you to look into an Amtrak vacation, especially if you have never done that sort of thing before.  Many North American destination cities are easily accessible by train.  Given how beautiful and interesting our country is, the trip itself can be a big part of the total enjoyment.

San Diego is one of the best-known and most appreciated vacation targets in the country  The train runs right into the middle of town, with easy local public transportation to get you to your hotel and most of the attractions.  Compared to other parts of Southern California, San Diego is actually relatively close together.  You can even get around to a lot of vacation attractions by walking if you enjoy that.

 

There is no shortage of fun places of interest in San Diego.  You could really spend weeks at all the museums, historical places of interest, beaches, theme parks and other attractions.  So it is safe to assume that you can engage yourself in a week of both relaxation and activity in this harbor city.  The weather in the summer is particularly appealing, with a moderate sea breeze cooling things off.

Perhaps you would like to make an even more ambitious train travel event, in which case you can take the train up the coast.  AmTrak runs from the downtown San Diego station to downtown Los Angeles Union Station with a few stops in between.  This would make it possible to spend an easy week or two in Southern California without your car.

Don’t forget that a trip by train can add several days on to the total schedule compared to flying, but if you have the right mindset the traveling can be part of the overall enjoyment of the trip.
