    I’m with Great Aunt whomever. Flying sucks.

    Plus, you could make it an event or party car. Imagine a traveling bachelorette party with a murder mystery dinner, karaoke, no flying, no driving, and you end up somewhere cool and can nap on the way back.

    (100% of the pre-wedding parties I’ve been to have had karaoke and a murder mystery dinner. Sample set of one.)

      Coworker said that time is the luxury item. Unless your car is following exactly a regular Amtrak route, at some point you get decoupled in a yard and passed off to another train, which can take hours. Basically a layover. So it sounds like it can easily become a multi-day thing to get somewhere you can get in like 5 hours by air.

      But yeah, if you have the time and inclination, it seems like a pleasant way to go.

        in certain they’d tell you where that would happen… if the destination is less important that simply going, you could just go to whatever random city, have a night out, come back
