Coming from northern NY the train did not work out for us. It is an 8 hr drive to Lorton in perfect conditions. Heading to Fl to make check in time with a buffer for traffic or weather is not practical without a stay over adding dollars and time. Heading back from FL by the time you unload and hit the road you are exhausted when you get home in NY. If you are like us now the unloading of the car and opening the house begins.
