Our families live in Chicago, and we have to using increasingly miserable airlines to go home. Once we get up there, we can catch a ride in Erie. It’s been so long since I’ve ridden a train that I find myself excited already! It’ll be great for the kids, too.

It’s one of the main reasons I moved to Europe — the fantastic train service!

The train that took us back to Switzerland from our vacation in Italy actually had a small playground for the kids! If you don’t believe me, I posted pictures here.

Each time we got a section – two facing seats that turned into upper and lower bunks at night with heavy curtains across. During the day we could meet other passengers, at night it was like being in a tent except you could lie and watch the stars and the forest go past. The boys soon found other children to play with so for a while we would have extra kids, then they would disappear for an hour but we knew they would be safe somewhere on the train. It’s by far the easiest way to travel with pre-teens.

North American trains are quite leisurely but I think it is my favorite way to travel, although boat travel is a strong rival.

Used the sleeper car, dining car, observation car, and walked the train. ITS THE ONLY WAY TO FLY!!!!!!
