Have you been on a train?

[DMKA]

I've ridden a passenger train one time and the experience was so bad that I've vowed to avoid it at all costs in the future. A freight train that was running ahead of our train broke down so we were stuck on the train, not moving for about 10 hours. What should have been a 13 hour overnight trip took me 22 hours from Orlando to Raleigh. I had a sandwich, some trail mix and two bottles of water and no two books. No blankets, no music andndnd had to keep phone turned off to preserve the battery.

I had that happen to me with the Greyhound once. We were stuck in a Greyhound bus depot in the middle of no where with no stores or restaurants around for 22 hours. They wouldn't tell us why until 16 hours into the wait (it was winter and our bus had went somewhere to fuel up during layover, crashed on the way there from slipping on black ice). Not to mention the number of unsavory characters that were on that same bus ride. Never, ever, ever again.

Unless I'm flying, I'll drive myself wherever I need to go, thanks.
