How romantic would it be to travel cross-country on a scenic train ride? I have just read a piece on the NY Times about traveling by train from Chicago to San Francisco on board the California Zephyr. Jeez, even the name is romantic. How often do I use the word zephyr? Uh, only when I'm singing Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In my excitement about 3 months of an East Coast summer, I've never planned an actual getaway that would require me to be away for more than two days. I've mentioned "train-ing" to my favorite travel companion and he would like to try it himself.
