You can put your car and your family on the train, leaving Washington DC at 3:00 pm and arrive in Orlando Florida the next morning! Zipping through countryside you never get to see from the road, at 70 mph, you feel like you've stepped back in time, reminiscent of the Old World , still being able to watch movies on your laptop and talk on your cell phone.
I recommend the sleeping car, if you don't want to sit up all night curled up in your chair. You might not get the best sleep of your life, but you have the challenge of taking a shower in you own private bathroom: the next time you're on a cruise ship you'll be thankful for the luxury of ship space.
