Subject: Rail tour of the US Posted on: Sun, 10 Jul 2005 14:21:22 +0100

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on how best to spend the time I'm planning
to stay in the US, November time. Firstly, on four trips to the US I've seen
a fair bit of the NE of the US but the furthest west I've been is Chicago.

I'm planning to arrive in Chicago and buying a 15 day rail pass which covers
the west of the US on a line from Chicago to New Orleans. I plan to take the
train to the west coast but I don't really know what to do then.

Possibilities are to Loop :
Chicago / Seattle or Portland / San Francisco / Chicago; or
Chicago / San Francisco / Los Angeles / Chicago; or
Chicago / San Francisco / New Orleans (fly back to the UK from New Orleans)

I am quite interested in modern art / sculpture / installations /
architecture so any locations which were strong on these types of attraction
would be ideal. I enjoyed my time in Chicago visiting Oak Park (Frank Lloyd
Wright houses) and in Pittsburgh (Andy Warhol and The Mattress Factory).

Looking forward to any advice people may have.
