Do YOU remember me talking about this? I would absolutely love to do this one day. I've been on a train in the train museum as a child, and another before that. I don't remember the one before the trian museum, but was told I went on a train.
Anyway, this would be such an amazing thing to experience. Would you be up to doing this if you had the time?
Oh and obviously? That is NOT NOT NOT a referral link.

I'd like to do it.
My dad went on a train trip from one side of Canada to the other and enjoyed it.
I was engaged once and for our honeymoon we booked to go on the orient express but just between vienna, prague and budapest...we split up

Canada would be a beautiful place to see via train. I won't even touch the subject of marriage, been there and done that.

@ScribbledAdNauseum i've not made it up the aisle and doubt it will happen now
my dad went on one of those trains with observation carriages which have glass roofs.
He's done loads of travelling, last thing he did was a trip to nepal just before the big quake and he went on an emirates flight around everest and went on a tiger safari...i was very very jealous.
I think if I was ever rich again I'd spend it on travel rather than the stupid stuff i did before.

@Mike197602 Wouldn't doubt there is a gin train somewhere. Not sure about travel laws to do with misdemeanor's or felonies. Not sure if it would also be based on British Law either.

OH yes that would be a great adventure. There are some fantastic train tours namely Canada and the Rockies, South Africa The Orient Express, The trans siberian express. The Singapore to Bangkok orient express, The Afghan Australia and the one I would love to do is across Australia from Perth to Sydney I think it takes about 3 days! But America would be fantastic too.

My family situation throughout my life has been such that I've only ever been out of Sate once. I'd love to start with a train journey across America but hearing about all the other train journeys to be had? It makes me itch to see them all.

One of my dreams is to travel on the train from where I live to New Orleans. Stay there for a few days. Then travel up to Michigan on the train and out to Mackinac Island where the Grand Hotel is. This is where some scenes in Somewhere in Time were shot. I love the movie, the period and would love to see the place.

It sounds like you have it all planned out, now for the money and time! That's always the hardest part, isn't it?

i remember a friend of mine doing it in Europe. She had a round ticket. She did not even stay in any hotel. She would freshen up in the train platform's rest room, sleep in the train and bingo covered most of the sights without paying anything for hotels.

I guess that's one way to cut expenses. I think it would be really bad on the body though, not to rest.

I would like to travel across Canada on a train for I could see more. I feel in a plane you wouldn't be seeing any sights but clouds.

You are right, in planes it'd just be the clouds. I've never flown before. I guess I need to do taht at some point though as I want to travel over seas.

I have never taken a long journey by train. I've been on one when I was around 3-4 and then again when I was like 12 or so? I imagine there are a lot of beautiful scenes to be seen.

@ScribbledAdNauseum in Europe the trains went very fast 200+km per hour. A lot of the time the train was in a sort of gully and we couldn't see the scenery on those stretches. I just like being on the train.

I saw this on the news a few months ago! Sounds like a blast. Theres a new airline offering $99/$199 airfares to Europe from California. Being a new airline I am totally afraid to go!
WOW Air is now offering flights from California to major European cities for $99 and $199.

I have never flown before. I don't think I'd want to start with a new airline. I know it's the pilots that matter but well... yeah.
