Three 50-word stories about a trip I’m on right now.

The train The accommodations The route
We’re traveling on the Amtrak Southwest Chief leaving Chicago and traveling to Los Angeles over the course of 2½ days. It is a 43-hour trip of roughly 2,265 miles with 31 stops. It’s known for its scenic views including the Painted Desert, Red Cliffs of Sedona, and the Grand Canyon. We have the Superliner Bedroom with a sofa and a chair that transform into upper and lower beds to sleep in. There’s an in-room restroom and shower, and bedding, pillow, towels and linens, along with a dedicated first-class attendant, and we get priority boarding and complimentary snacks, meals, and drinks. Leaving Chicago and arriving in Los Angeles, we travel through Illinois (4 stops), Iowa (1 stop), Missouri (2 stops), Kansas (6 stops), Colorado (3 stops), New Mexico (5 stops), Arizona (3 stops), and California (6 stops). An Albuquerque friend is meeting us for a drink during our 40-minute stop there.
