I have managed to take a train from KC to NYC back in the old days (mid 70's), drove a car cross country several times, and flew a whole bunch of times. I even got to take a bus. If you have the time, take the train. Why? When you get sleepy, you go to sleep. You can get up and move around. You meet folks. You see the country from the ground. <br /> <br />My five reasons for taking the train (if it's available): <br />1) No stopping for directions. <br />2) Leg room, leg room and leg room. <br />3) You are in a vehicle that can run trucks off the road, instead of the other way round. <br />4) Only an incredibly learning disabled terrorist would try to hijack a train... from a passenger car. <br />5) An AMTRAK train leaving the rails at 60 MPH gives me a better chance of survival than a 600 mph jet letting the earth rise up and smite it. <br /> <br />Erik
