I went for a four and a half hour train ride on Sunday. Memories of long rides on greyhound when I was a kid made me think it would be awful. I was wrong, it was awesome... big comfy leather seats, unrestricted wifi, veal dinner and wine if you want it. The only thing I didn't like is the seats are arranged four to a table. The three people I was seated with were francophone and my French is a little rusty since high school, made for some fun interesting conversation.

I haven't ridden a train since the 60's. We used to travel to Phil/New York from the Midwest to visit relatives via PRR "The Manhattan Limited". It was always pretty cool then. I don't like the hassle flying has become and thought about a train trip maybe next year.

My Mom always used to save the paper bags from Krogers and tuck them in a holder on the door under the sink along with the edict that "You never know when you'll need a bag for _____" Damn if that isn't where I keep them too.
edit: No anxiety though. I usually just say Fuck It.
One of those private rooms with a shower from your link would be pretty sweet for a long trip. I don't know if we have sleeper trains here anymore. I don't think a lot of people are travelling by train now. here's a pic of our train interiors. (not my pic) This table layout isn't for lone travelers... and not great if you have anxieties about eating in front of strangers or are shy in any way. I would have preferred zoning out and staring at the back of a headrest.
I hear you on hating air travel. We're going on vacation in 16 days 18 hours and 21 minutes... I have a countdown app lol. It's a 12 hour flight plus a two hour layover in LA. They want you at the airport 90 minutes before departure, so that's going to be a brutal 20 hour day. I plan on being messed up on edibles, too bad I'm not in LA long enough to go visit a dispensary for a refill.

Is Dad going to take care of your grow?
That's way too long to be in an airplane! My longest was 15 hours to Ankara.
Air Canada and Westjet have flights to honolulu that go through san francisco but they have a 6+ hour layover and they leave Toronto late in the morning. We found a cheap charter flight from Sunwing that flies out of Hamilton at a better time for us with only a short layover in LA.
lol god no I could just imagine the "improvements" he would make. My sister is going to stay at my place and look after the plants and watch the dog. I'm really hoping to start flowering next week so there shouldn't be much to do and I can facetime with her to help if necessary.

It was a bus ride, then across the Pacific, then two layovers on the west coast, then a car ride.
That's brutal. Was that when you were in the military?
I vaguely remember landing in Ankara with my parents when I was little, thinking we were already in Athens then being mad and throwing a tantrum because we had to wait to get on another flight.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes.

In 96 my ex and I went to Hawai’i (Big Island) for nine days. It was awesome. We lived in the Bay Area, so the flight to LA was “tear along dotted line” of the San Andreas Fault. The leg from LAX to Keahole was like four hours and something. You must be going by seaplane at 200 knots. Are the savings considerable?
