Jump On The Train to San Diego For Your Next Great Family Vacation
If you have not traveled by Amtrak for a vacation, perhaps it is time to to give it some consideration. The national train network makes it possible to get around from most major cities. Given how beautiful and interesting our country is, the trip itself can be a big part of the total enjoyment.
One of the most popular vacation destinations is San Diego. 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.
San Diego is really loaded with interesting places to visit. Visiting all of the beaches, museums, historical attractions and other amusements could truly take weeks. There certainly would be no problem filling a busy week of vacation in this beach-oriented city. The weather in the summer is particularly appealing, with a moderate sea breeze cooling things off.
If you wanted to extend your vacation, it is possible to continue the train travel up to the Los Angeles area, and beyond that up the West Coast. It is easy to take the train from San Diego all the way to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, with maybe ten 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.
