Travel By The Train to The San Diego Area To Enjoy A Leisurely Family Vacation
Posted By Connie on July 29, 2010
If you have not traveled by Amtrak for a vacation, the time may have come to think about it. 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.
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. In fact, a lot of the attractions can be enjoyed by walking.
There is no shortage of fun places of interest in San Diego. Visiting all of the beaches, museums, historical attractions and other amusements could truly take weeks. So it is safe to assume that you can engage yourself in a week of both relaxation and activity in this harbor city. One of the major features that San Diego offers its guests and residents alike is its wonderful, moderate weather, especially in the summertime.
Continuing your train travel up the West Coast past Los Angeles would be an option if you would like to plan an even more substantial trip. 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. By doing any of the above, it would be reasonable to engage in a one- or two-week vacation without using a car.
Of course, traveling by train could add 3-4 days to the overall vacation schedule but that could be part of the charm if you have the right attitude.
