We are planning our first Amtrak ride for May 25 (Memorial Day weekend). We will be leaving SAN and traveling to Anaheim on the Pacific Surfliner. We have booked Business Class for our family of 4. Being that this is our first train ride, I have several questions! Also open to any feedback that anyone wants to share!
1) How early do we get to the train station? We are staying at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront so it looks like the station is pretty close.
2) I know there are no checked bags - being that this is a 10-day trip, we will have 2 regular-sized suitcases in addition to carry-on suitcases (4 bags total) - is that going to be an issue? I know they advise to pack in smaller bags but we can't handle that many suitcases with the kids.
No issues with the fees for the larger suitcases, I just want to make sure we will be fine with somewhere to store them.
3) Is there a better time to travel? We are currently scheduled on the 10 am departure but open to other times if we should look at changing.
