Product placement

Amtrak: ACTS - it is a train service that transports people between cities. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Amtrak Midwest: APPEARS - it is a logo on the train. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Transcript

I bet you a million dollars that you didn't know you could take the Amtrak from Cincinnati to Chicago cause a month ago I didn't know either. The Amtrak operates out of Cincinnati's very own Cincinnati Museum Center, also known as Union Terminal. To book your trip, go to Amtrak.com. Click the side menu and press schedules. From there, type in Cincinnati as your first location and Chicago as your second, of course. Then it will allow you to select arrange for your travel dates. And you can make your selections from there. It looks like the Amtrak only leaves every other day, so just keep that in mind while booking your trip. After entering, you just want to walk straight back and to your right is the Amtrak waiting room. This is the waiting area before boarding the train, and you'll be given instructions on how to do so. I loved taking the Amtrak because it was spacious, it was comfortable, and I didn't have to do anything after I boarded the train. The whole process from booking to arrival was completely stress-free. Each person is allowed one personal item and two carry-ons. Since it was a shorter trip, we were in the coach seats, but for a longer one, I would love to try the sleeper cars. Of course, there's a cafe and restrooms on board, both very clean, and the cafe had a great assortment of options. So if you're not in a rush and you like to romanticize your life and take things slow, I highly recommend taking the Amtrak on your next trip into Chicago.

thank god i got there first, how cute would this look on my nightstand! #thrifti
