The Amtrak Adirondack is currently not available to book, but when it does, I highly recommend taking it.
My Husband and I decided to end our journey by rail, with a leisurely ride on the Amtrak Adirondack.
We left Montreal pretty much right on time and quickly lost time at the Canadian/US Border. It must have taken upwards of 2 hours, for the Customs Agents to do their thing in the train.
We were happy that we had taken our official Passport and not just our Passport Card. We felt overdressed, in that regard, but ended up needing it.
My Son, wasn't so lucky.
He got caught at Customs and missed his 5:30AM flight. Why? He only had his Passport Card with him.
He finally cleared and got to the gate, but it was too late. Thankfully his airline booked him onto a flight to LaGuardia Airport and then one to his home.
The train ride down was beautiful and we spent about 80% by water.
Lake Champlain, The Champlain Canal, The Hudson River, we spent time with them all.
We did make up time on the final Albany to Penn leg of the trip and got in almost exactly on time.
Bathrooms were the worst part of this journey (no surprise there).
Thankfully, the food was edible and not overly expensive.
Get yourself a close in hotel and enjoy all NYC has to offer.
