When my friends were talking about going on a road trip, I suggested we travel by train.
Everybody thought I was crazy at first, but I said I didn’t feel like driving all that way.
I also wanted to have reliable temperature control settings on our journey. On top of that, we only wanted to go to a certain place, not necessarily stop and see all the places on the way. If we had taken a car, we all would’ve had to stop at hotels along the way. Now, I know some of those hotels on the side of the road are actually not bad with powerful climate control systems. Of course, why do that when you have your own climate control in your personal room on the train! We were able to get a couple of roomettes that were next to each other and of course you can adjust the temperature control settings. There’s a reasonable amount of space for two people and since there were four of us, everything worked out great. I preferred to sleep on the top bunk area and it was nice being able to look out the window while we were travelling. I kept having to tell my buddy to adjust the temperature control settings and he didn’t really mind. We had a truly great time when we got to our destination and we actually got there right on time because we didn’t really have to stop along the way. The time seemed to go by so quickly, but the ride back on the train was just as comfortable as going to our destination.
