TIS, I wanted to go to Florida by train. My husband refused to go. He did it once when he was a kid, because his mother developed a fear of flying. He said that it sounds like a terrific way to see the country, but the parts of the country that are near train tracks are not anything you would want to see.

Although I didn't like driving to Florida, I would like to try it when I have several weeks, maybe stopping in Washington, DC, Savannah, or other points south of where I live.
