"I spent 30 hours on an Amtrak sleeper train traveling from New York City to Miami in October 2021. While on the longest train journey I'd ever taken, I found ways to keep comfy and pass the time. I wore my coziest clothes, brought my own entertainment, and tried to make my room feel like home. I could have flown from New York City to Miami. It would have saved me 27 hours and at least $100."
"But I've always loved traveling by train, so I booked a 30-hour Amtrak journey instead. This was back in 2021, when the longest train ride I'd taken was less than four hours long, but the thought of spending 30 hours on a train appealed to me. I booked a roomette accommodation for about $500. A step up from coach seating, it's a 20-square-foot private suite that sleeps two people."

The traveler brought cozy clothes, personal entertainment, and items to make the space feel like home, and developed strategies to stay comfortable and occupy time over the long journey.
