We'll be taking the City of New Orleans up to Chicago again for New Year's. Those who have been reporting that they can't make a long road trip because of various pains should consider the train. You can take long, pain relieving strolls up and down the train while still traveling at 80 miles an hour and the seats recline nicely. OK I still had too much back pain to even take the train for Thanksgiving but I'll be ready to travel by New Year's. Sometimes it's a bit of a drive still from the nearest train station but we've found the combination works well. It's also a pretty good bargain. The coach seats from Hammond to Chicago are half the price of plane tickets.
