Train/Bus/Ferry

America

Amtrak.com

One of the best features on their site, for me, is their Trip Planning Map…having the whole map with the different stops open, helps me plan a better trip. This is especially great if you want to stop a few places along the way. Check under ‘Destinations’ to browse the routes & regions to help you plan the perfect trip. Tour America (using their Multi-City option) by Amtrak!

Alaskarailroad.com

I can’t wait! I’ll be traveling with them for my trip to go Kayaking Through The Glaciers. This is my first time, so I’ll write more about it when I’m done. But they couldn’t have been more helpful in my plans. Their Glacier Discovery train gives me an awesome trip from Anchorage to Whittier, where I’ll pick up my ferry for Prince William Sound. So many adventures in one trip. Most people heading to the Cruise Ports like Anchorage, Seward & Whittier travel using this train.

Greyhound

Available in America, Canada & Mexico. For a comfortable ride, they have more legroom, personal power outlets to charge your phone & free wifi on every bus. Search on their site for different getaways, sit back and enjoy a relaxing ride. Don’t forget to sign up for their Road Rewards, for discounts on the next trip.

Megabus

Through the US & Canada. I love the fare finder….they show you low cost options if you aren’t sure where you want to go. Put in where you are, if you know the dates, or if you want a weekend getaway, the number of people & if you have special needs…….the price it gives you is the total for the number of travelers you put in….choose what you like & it even gives you days before & after prices so you can customize. Choose the ticket, select your seats & you are on your way!
