If you re considering travel by rail along the California coast, or even as far north as Seattle, treat yourself to a ride aboard Amtrak s luxurious Coast Starlight. In an effort to recapture the glory days of 1940s Streamline obitz luxury liners, Amtrak has pulled out all the stops on these double- decker Superliners, complete with a gourmet dining car, first-class and coach lounge cars, standard and deluxe sleeping compartments, and enough diversions (including feature-length films, live entertainment, games for kids and adults, and a full bar) to make the 35-hour trip a pleasure. All sleeping-car fares include three meals daily, prepared onboard with an emphasis on regional flavor, and wines from Washington, Oregon, and California, as well as seasonal specials from along the Coast Starlight s route.
