Taking days to get to Chicago from Emeryville is all part of the fun of it. Enjoy the journey…

Spoken like one of the small percentage of Americans who can afford to tag on extra days to their PTO to enjoy a nice view.

I guess so. We took the girls when they were young to Omaha a few times from the Bay Area. I wasn't even sure passenger trains would be around when they were adults so wanted to give them that experience. I took a train between Kansas City and Chicago as a kid and found it magical.

So, yeah, the train ride was actually a significant part of the experience for those particular vacations.
