Numerous reasons for me although "all options are on the table"!
My top 5 reasons are:
5. Getting to and waiting in airports especially with "mucho" luggage and young children.
4. Need a car the entire time, and it is cheaper to rent for longer periods and my aggregator (European based) will include full insurance coverage at little cost and my car company in FL will give me an Audi Q7, which my wife and kids adore.
3. One way rental is about $300 more.
2. Need to stop in Virginia (at some point) to visit the illegal relatives and the auto train is nearby, plus we can leave the car with them and train it into DC for a few days of sightseeing.
1. It will make my young wife happy!
I was hoping to find out fun things to do on the train as they do not have TV's. They do have wifi but it cannot stream. We looked at the stateroom option but it is $900 more for a closet to sleep in.
From our trip up a few weeks ago, I have learned that any car trips of more than 30-45 mins will result in all passengers other than myself sleeping for hours on end.
