OTOH, with the Auto Train, I breeze into the terminal, my car is rolled aboard with all my luggage (without weight limitations) and a pair of bicycles on the back, I simply board the train at 4 p.m. without having to wait in line or take off my shoes and belt. I then enjoy the trip, get off the train after breakfast, and I'm on the way in my own car by 11 a.m. the next morning.
Sure, I lose a little time, but I look forward to the train trip and sleeper car as I have never done for air travel in a long time.
Thank you.
