When I travel around Europe I prefer to travel by train.
I usually go at night.
There are very comfortable kabins with good beds and shower.
On board are restaurants and you can bring your car along for the
ride.
I really am fed up with airports and delays.
Also much better to arrive in the morning at the destination
refreshed.
If I need more than one night I usually make a stopover in some nice
city during the day and then take the next night train.
The new trains are really comfortable and fast.
Beats driving long distances.

I enjoy the trains in Europe as well. They are in general smooth, fast,
clackless and you can read or work, if you wish , as you travel.

As I suggest, try taking the bus in the US and get back to us LOL
