That's the 3rd time we've done that. The first 2 times we rode Coach (at 5'1" I was fine, hubby felt cramped in the loungers). This time we upgraded to a "roomette" (2 bunk beds and all meals included). Hubby and I are thinking of planning another non-FL train trip. My daughter loves Florida's Brightline and said the next time we're down that way, we should try to schedule a Brightline jaunt. My son recently applied for a job where he would have to go into NYC 1-2x per week. He said if he gets the job, he'd definitely be doing the train. It wouldn't really cut down on workday hours, but he could be reading or using his laptop rather than dealing with traffic to/from NYC. He said for a decent pay bump, a regular work schedule, and benefits, he said he'd be OK leaving his local retail job behind even if the train fees took a good portion of the raise.
