Boston, Massachusetts - My Great American Rail Journey - Part 19

In the summer of 2024, I took advantage of Amtrak's USA Rail Pass, where you get 10 trips on the train for $499. One catch is, all 10 legs have to be completed within 30 days. Another catch is all of your travel has to be done in coach. That means even sleeping on the train, I would have to do it sitting in a coach seat. For months I studied different Amtrak routes, planned which ones I wanted to ride, and what places I wanted to see along the way. Finally, I put together an itinerary I was happy with. One that would put me on 10 different Amtrak routes, take me through 36 states, allow me to see things I had never seen and go to places I have never been. In this video, I just got off of the Lake Shore Limited and arrived in Boston. Originally, the next morning I was taking the Amtrak Downeaster to Portland, Maine. There, I was renting a car and driving to Acadia National Park and camp there for one night. However, the weather forecast called for 100% chance of thunderstorms and rain the entire time I would have been in Acadia. I decided not to go up to Maine, and spent an entire day in Boston, where the weather was much better. As much as I would have loved to have gone to Acadia National Park, my time in Boston was wonderful and I am so glad I got to see and explore more of this beautiful historic city!
