Things to know before taking an overnight Amtrak Sleeper train ride

• I regret not knowing a few things before my long overnight Amtrak trips in 2021.
• I took trips from NYC to Miami and back that were 30 hours each, but time seemed to pass more slowly.
• I wish I knew the internet service would be unreliable, among other lessons I learned the hard way.

In October 2021, I booked round trip travel between New York and Miami on the Amtrak overnight train. In total, I spent 60 hours on the rails.

En route to Miami, I spent 30 hours in a $500 room, which is a 20 square meter enclosed private space with a folding table, two chairs that fold into a bed, and an extra bed that folds out. pull down from the ceiling.
