    Sweet! I loved UCF and decided to stay in the area after graduation, so I'm already in Orlando! Looks like I'll actually be able to attend a PolkFest.

    Yeah, can't beat going by train. Amtrak prices for Penn Station NYC to Orlando, FL were less than half the price of JetBlue!

    Plus I've been on an airplane to Florida WAY too many times. Like every time going to Disneyworld. Literally.

    And after a 2700 mile road trip in the Corvette, not sure if gas would be cheaper.

    I've never been on a train...a cross-country train ride sounds pretty cool. Maybe I'll do that next time I visit the northeast.

    Yeah, they have a chef on board to serve real food, unlike the prepackaged food on airplanes. Power outlets to recharge your stuff and snack bar open until the late night.

    I did ride in a sleeping car once during my trip to Tibet from Qinghai, but since this ride is only 24 hours I decided to get a regular seat instead.

    Sounds cool if you have the time, not everyone does when traveling.



    George, got the box Thanks MAN! Looking at them the old ones well where old looking many hours on them, found a local tube place which can check the others which I do soon prior to PF. I'm listening to it right now thinking the Per never sounded better. :smile:

    I guess I'm cheap 'cause paying double for plane tickets doesn't make any sense. :smile:

    I might check some tubes with it since my Pre killed 2 tubes. I think some tubes are getting old and weak. But love the way now so don't think anything is just to dead.
