I know this is a little off-topic from monitoring rail road radio, but since those who monitor this are most likely to be informed, I'm coming here for suggestions.
I have always wanted to take a rail trip, since being a young kid. I have the time and funds to do it now and I would like to hear suggestions on destinations from Tampa, Florida, round trip. What is available as far as accommodations are concerned? I would like to travel "first class". Are meals provided? Any suggestions as to what is best to bring along, other than the obvious normal luggage and camera, etc.
I know I can look this up on travel sites, and I have, but I thought maybe others out there might have had real-time experience with it that might not be on a travel site. I also am attracted to the rail roads and have an interest in the trains and their operation as much as in the sites and locations. I can spend several weeks on my trip.
Thanks for any suggestions.
