I checked on flights to teh Getaway and they've gone up in price since ther Tragedy. So, I checked the train, yesterday. Round trip for two, from Denver to Chi, to Philly, to Baltimore: $718!! And, that is without a sleeping berth.

This country NEEDS to have mroe rail service, to more places, and be affordable. Lacking that, I guess we'll have to fly even though I do not enjoy it. I am not afraid to, howevere.
