Winter in Florida

[bigdog]

Just checked Amtrak Auto train pricing. Wash DC to Sanford FLA

Senior Coach ticket $168
Car cost $244
Total = $412

Trains leave daily at 4:00pm, arrive in FLA 9:00am next day.

Not bad !

With quite a few trips from CT to FL under my belt I can say with certainty that the ride down to DC contains about 95% of the white knuckle driving.

South of Richmond the going gets quite easy.

As far as the whole drive goes...

It's about 11 hours from Laconia to Ashland VA and another 15 to Tierra Verde.

For some that is two days. Others will need three. There is no future in falling asleep at the wheel.

We have friends who use the auto train annually, and love it. To each their own. We do love train travel, but are not snowbirds. Train travel is very relaxing.
