that would only start a pillow fight. You know, I like train rides/amtrak a lot better than flying, you wouldn't believe how much fun you can have riding the trains.

Can't have a real pillow fight if only one person has a pillow . I get motion sickness so trains would be out for me .

I've never ridden an Amtrak - I don't know if I'd be able to handle it, I get motion sickness. Plus, last I looked, Amtrak cost a little more for me than using Continental (here to NJ)

Trust me, motion sickness can be cured by all the alcohol you can consume . It might be a bit more $$ depending where you're travelling but man, may I suggest a ride say during Mardi Gras?

Amtrak Accella Express ROCKS

Its my preferred travel for any trips to DC or CT for work. I go train whenever I can, no irritation at the airport, no 2 hours wait for a short hopper flight, just hop on the train and go...

Add to that a duplex outlet at every seat (biz class, I don't know about economy), and my favorite - the "Quiet Car"! Noone talking, just other people working/napping/relaxing. It doesn't get better...

I love continental. Awesome service, never had a bad flight.
I loved Continental until my last flight home from Miami Beach - HORRIBLE. My friend was also on the infamous "poopy in the aisle" flight back from Europe...she doesn't really like them anymore! LOL !

They overbook EVERYTHING today. Airlines are run like CRAP. I don't even want to fly anymore.
