commented:Or, it could be Amtraked, said the Lisa, for 14 hours (ok, really 12 but the 2 hour layover in Chicago really does have to be included). $285 - cheaper than the $312 you'd spend driving, and much more relaxing. Besides, then you could have a conversation about gay marriage with a friendly born-again evangelicals that you've already spent 5 hours chatting with. (This antedote courtesy of my friend Jim who took the train to Burlington. He says he loves trains because he meets a much more diverse spectrum of people than he would flying, and has conversations that he normally wouldn't have).on Thu Jun 22 16:01:57 2006 |
David commented: Ah, but you assume the train is on time, something I have never experienced with Amtrak.on Thu Jun 22 18:58:23 2006 |
Nikki commented: Yes, well, maps also say you can make it from Ann Arbor to Chicago in 3.5 hours--but that is assuming no construction and no one else on the road that tack on an additional 1.5 hours. That said, I'm finally HOME! :)on Mon Jun 26 04:49:05 2006 |
