on the train from Portland to Seattle

Trains seem so old fashioned... But no bag check. I brought on TWO bottles of liquid. No fight for overhead luggage space... And the scenery is spectacular! We have done this as a drive in previous years, but the train is way more fun.

Why trains are better than planes

1) I can carry all of my luggage on board.
2) No lectures on how my foot space must be clear of luggage.
3) The smallest bottle of wine is huge. 375ml
3) No TSA patdowns or scans.
4) Big windows.
5) Quieter. The engine noise level is much lower.
6) More personal space. Bigger aisles.
7) A regular 3prong 120V plug under the seat.
8) Changing views out the huge windows.
9) No line for the bathroom.
10) Free wireless. Cell phones work.
