In reply to the discussion: Could you give up flying? Meet the no-plane pioneers [View all]Aristus
(66,328 posts)24. I just had two turbulent flights-from-Hell this last week to Colorado and back.
I'll take train travel any day.
Current time constraints don't permit it, but my dream is to cross the country by train. Take a nice roomy sleeper car with a shower and private toilet. Read, surf the net, watch our huge, beautiful country go by out the window, enjoy meals in the dining car, sleep to the soothing click-clack of the rails, etc. I've watched just about every YouTube video in existence concerning cross-country Amtrak sleeper-car travel. I want this so bad, it aches.

I never liked flying - guess who stays awake during a red eye listening to engines.
