[pct-l] Flying

[Paul Robison]

Total agreement a train ride is fun, especially in scenic areas,  but for a sleeper car you're talking hundreds of dollars more than flying... Not to mention the 200$ or so less from lost Income because yu spent a day sitting on a train instead of working.

After a section hike in '05 I caught Greyhound from Sisters down to Salem and took the Coast Starlight home to Sacramento.  I'd never ridden the train before and couldn't believe how nice it was.  The trip was overnight and about 20 hours in duration as I recall.

It is pricy, but if you have the means, I recommend it.  I want to take this home from Seattle.  Last year Golden Child took the trian home to Georgia (and no, I don't know if it was the midnight train.
