I'm planning to take my family on an RV across the US (The Lincoln Highway in other words) partly cos it's always been a dream of mine, and partly to get the kids introduced to real travelling rather than holidays.
I had never considered it by train - seems harder to just stop off and meet people, something I consider the point of travelling (yes landscapes are lovely but I am a Homo Sapiens Bigot)
- chrisseaton 8y ago> I had never considered it by train - seems harder to just stop off and meet people Could you take the train, but instead of a non-stop journey just jump off when you pass through an interesting town, and then resume your journey the next day?
- lifeisstillgood 8y agoIt seems to lack the flexibility I was hoping for - lunch in this town, dinner in that. plus i suspect it entails excitingly expensive tickets and fun timetable management :-)
- chrisseaton 8y agoAh I'm used to roughly hourly trains - I guess some of them in the USA only pass through once a week even.
- bluGill 8y agoMaybe, maybe not. Some routes are one trail per week, some 3x a week. There are many interesting places not reachable by train at all. If your trip works with those limits then there is a pass you can buy.
