In mid-March, I took off on a romantic, week-long Amtrak trip to New Orleans with my girlfriend, and I came back an engaged man with a fiancée. Not only did we get engaged in one of New Orleans' famous cemeteries, but we saved money using our travel rewards credit card points for this special trip. We took our first sleeper train trip last yearMy fiancée and I have been together for a little over eight years, and all of our traveling has been to visit family with my son.
