The Auto Train

For the third time, we're taking the Auto Train to Florida. It's a fantastic way to travel and very enjoyable. The entire trip takes about 17 hours. You have dinner on the train, go to bed, have breakfast and arrive around 9AM in Florida.

When this posts, we should be moving inexorably down the east coast in a very comfortable state room. Ah . . .

Very cool! I looked into taking the Auto Train several years ago, but found it to be too expensive and wound up taking the regular train and renting a car in Florida. However, maybe the economics have changed in recent times......

When do they bring around the cart with the chocolate frogs?

Rachel and I were discussing that very thing! As we were walking down the hallway, she said it reminded her of the snack lady. And I said, "Something from the trolley, Dears?"

Total cost for the train was $625 for two adults, two kids and a van. Pretty reasonable, I think. It's also a LOT of fun.
