Enjoy the journey

Yeah, that's how I look at it. I was just wondering if it really would only cost me ~$1,000 for two people Fargo-->Seattle. Also wondering if the food was any good and if there are three hot meals a day. Don't want to be eating cold balogna sandwiches, LOL. Wife & I both loved the VIA trip a couple of years ago, but it would involve another day of travel (drive to Winnipeg and then Cascade train Vancouver-->Seattle.) It's also a thousand bucks per person for first class (the only way to go!) Have so far avoided Amtrak. I was looking forward to riding an overnight Eastern European train, but that will have to be put off until next year.
