Take The Train to The San Diego Area To Enjoy A Leisurely Family Vacation

author | December 10, 2009

Maybe this is the time for you to look into an Amtrak vacation, especially if you have never done that sort of thing before.  The national train network makes it possible to get around from most major cities.  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.  The weather in the summer is particularly appealing, with a moderate sea breeze cooling things off.

Perhaps you would like to make an even more ambitious train travel event, in which case you can take the train up the coast.  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.  This would make it possible to spend an easy week or two in Southern California without your car.

Don’t forget that a trip by train can add several days on to the total schedule compared to flying, but if you have the right mindset the traveling can be part of the overall enjoyment of the trip.
