My wife, our 7 month old daughter and I rode Amtrak from New Orleans to Chicago & onto Spokane on Amtrak. It was awesome. We had a roomette which is the smallest type of sleeper. That private room gave my wife the privacy to nurse and a place for the baby to scream without aggravating other passengers. We also had our own picture window and 2 bunk beds that were prepared for us by the car attendant. Meals in the dining car were included too. Amtrak's luggage allowances are far more generous than any airline and you won't have to remove your shoes at some ridiculous security checkpoint. If Amtrak charges for carrying your bike, it will only be a couple of dollars, not $80 one way like a friend of mine was charged by an airline.

As someone who soon will have much more of a vested interest in Amtrak soon (email me for details if you are interested), I hope that you continue to spread the good news.
