Another comfort item I didn’t think about until I was on the train was slippers.
I like taking my shoes off during long trips, especially on airplanes, but for some reason, I felt hesitant to do so on the train.
I wish I had brought a pair of light slippers to wear during the ride and for those trips back and forth to the bathroom. It would’ve been another way to add to the overall comfort of a long Amtrak ride.
