>It might be cheaper to buy a train.
I'm sure... in fact, I just realized the roughly $3500 price tag on our last Amtrak trip was ROUND TRIP to NYC... which means my ceiling got a lot lower... Ah well, it was a fun idea...
>Do you have an RV ?
if don't own one, but that idea had occured to me... find someone who could use a vacation, let them drive it home...
>Why a long day in a rental car? There is an Amtrak station in Ft. Lauderdale.
sometime last year the route from Los Angeles to Florida was cut. It now doesn't go east of New Orleans. The Ft Lauderdale station only serves northbound east-coast trains now.
Truth be told, my main concern isn't so much the driving the rental car, as the unreliability of Amtrak in the winter...
Thanks, all...
