I've spent 128 hours on Amtrak sleeper trains. Here are 6 essentials I've always packed and 4 I discovered along the way.
I've always packed comfortable clothes and plenty of entertainment on overnight Amtrak trips. After some experience, I started packing slippers.
Joey Hadden, a frequent traveler on Amtrak sleeper trains, has spent 128 hours on these trains and discovered six essential items to pack for overnight trips. Firstly, a camera is a must-have to capture the unique views and interiors of the train carriages. Secondly, a journal is essential for the author's solo travels, allowing them to indulge in uninterrupted thoughts and be inspired by the ever-changing scenery.
Thirdly, a comfy outfit separate from the rest of the clothes is packed to be easily accessible once on board. Fourthly, video games are a great source of entertainment during long hours of travel. Fifthly, a journal helps the author capture their thoughts and enjoy the unique experiences on the train. Lastly, noise-canceling headphones are crucial to block out any disturbances and enjoy personal audio content.
The author also shares four additional items discovered along the way: waterproof clogs for Amtrak shower facilities, Crocs for comfortable footwear, Dramamine for motion sickness prevention, and slippers for added comfort during the trip.
