I would love to take a nice train trip. Been wanting to do it my whole life.

I’ve been on a bus and as Hank Jr said “bussin’ ain’t where it’s at”.

My parents did finally take the train around the country. Stopped in L.A. to visit with my brother, then continued on south side back home. Dad is a train nut so definitely his bag. I would like to too, if I had the time and money. Trains are great (I’ve used many times both for vacation and just visiting from my home to hometown, etc); even if you’re just in coach you can walk around freely, put your luggage in easy access where you can get to it if needed, have food either in snack bar and/or dining car.

Amtrak did make me mad that they abandoned this WONDERFUL silly ham-and-cheese sandwich. I’m not big on sandwiches, but I found out their honey-ham & Muenster on a soft small sub roll, heated, was FANTASTIC. Didn’t even need condiments, it was so good. For me, that’s saying something! Curse them for dropping it!
