Default Re: Auto Train

We took the auto train (Lorton to Sanford) in January 08 (right after the holidays) and it was packed with snowbirds going south. Dinner was very nice, breakfast was continental and nothing special, fellow travelers were interesting and fun, had a sleeper but could not sleep (too much bouncing around). Loading and unloading the car was efficient, but did extra take time on both ends of the trip. It is expensive, even at today's gas prices. We returned by car (for a variety of reasons).

It was fun...but do not know if I would do it again...
