Yes, it only takes 1-2 hours to get to DC, but that's is once you are in the air. There is the added schlep to the airport, security, waiting at the gate. When I fly in from Michigan, I spend at least twice as much time traveling to and from the airport and waiting there, as I do flying. <br /><br />Not to mention the fact that of the last 10 flights that I have taken, I think one of them has left within 30 minutues of the designated liftoff time. <br /><br />I want trains in America to be like trains in Europe. Less sucky. More awesome.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411699403734388741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072249128151227164.post-30851634067171291072011-04-22T13:03:43.436-04:002011-04-22T13:03:43.436-04:00This is a very good point.

Flight travel has had HORRENDOUS delays this week alone, if my twitter and facebook feed are to be believed. In that category, trains are very much in the winning category.Zelda Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654314419681927384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072249128151227164.post-65133141668443177602011-04-22T13:00:54.933-04:002011-04-22T13:00:54.933-04:00MegaBus is amazing.

Even waiting with my friends for entertainment was not enough to make me happy in that kind of cold.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02730655976947168640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072249128151227164.post-4124247714796022032011-04-19T11:27:29.397-04:002011-04-19T11:27:29.397-04:00I am very glad to know about this MegaBusI am very glad to know about this MegaBusCaitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976427232713958536noreply@blogger.com
