    I’m with Great Aunt whomever. Flying sucks.

    Plus, you could make it an event or party car. Imagine a traveling bachelorette party with a murder mystery dinner, karaoke, no flying, no driving, and you end up somewhere cool and can nap on the way back.

    (100% of the pre-wedding parties I’ve been to have had karaoke and a murder mystery dinner. Sample set of one.)

      Coworker said that time is the luxury item. Unless your car is following exactly a regular Amtrak route, at some point you get decoupled in a yard and passed off to another train, which can take hours. Basically a layover. So it sounds like it can easily become a multi-day thing to get somewhere you can get in like 5 hours by air.

      But yeah, if you have the time and inclination, it seems like a pleasant way to go.
