It's been a week since my trip. That's how long it's taken me to recover. And yes... seriously. A commenter said smoothies with bananas, honey and milk cure hangovers. I could have used a kiddie pool filled with that concoction for the bad-boy I brought home.
The trip was great, except Amtrak ran into pretty major delays on the way back. Many people on board complained that this is why nobody takes the train.
But I'm reminded of a two-hour traffic jam during a vacation because an acid truck overturned. Or spending more than an hour on the runway waiting for a plane to depart.
Sure it's frustrating when a train stops for apparently no reason (they could do a better job of communicating delays), but I'd much rather be on a roomy train with a dining car stocked with wine and veggie burgers than circling over an airport during a storm.

I agree. I took the train 2 times already this summer and loved almost every minute. What a great way to travel. I took one daughter to chicago and one to NYC. It was a great way to travel with the kids. Beats the car anyday.
As someone who just finishing driving 10 hours with two kids, I completely agree with your agreement. Viva la train!
