Totally worth it, and it was up and running faster than the flights after a snow storm. The best part was, as you put it, &quot;retaining some of my personal rights and liberty.&quot; I&#39;m not a libertarian but I&#39;m definitely of a mind that we are sacrificing too much for security. Not having to drive or going through a security check was lovely.The Gourmezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481162658023743485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979734350779333464.post-74701130757816200122010-03-09T17:27:07.590-05:002010-03-09T17:27:07.590-05:00It&#39;s been years since I took that ride, but it was very relaxing and interesting.<br /><br />Also, since it arrives in Penn station, I subtract an hour that would have been used for collecting baggage at La Guardia, getting a taxi in, etc. And I subtract the hour or two in advance that I have to be at RDU. So it&#39;s like 7-8 hours.<br /><br />Hope Obama can actually build a faster train line to NY.gehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017660584033025626noreply@blogger.com
