Yah, older daughter moved to a country far away, she cannot even take a chicken bus. Younger daughter, welp, last year, her older cousin is a dentist and is fixing her mouth and an 8 hour drive to SD with a stowaway by her sister who magically shows up from gawd knows where, that was a tough drive. Getting too old for that chit. She has one more procedure to get her movie star $14,000 perfect mouth, so I bought her Amtrak tix as I am not making that drive again. She can buy a bottle of wine and enjoy eight hours and the view and chill. The Pacific Starlight Amtrak is the nice one, she can pick it up in Salinas to SD and it is the one that goes from Downtown SD to Seattle, it has the lounge and dinning car (not just the snack car) and those two rooms are all glass from hip up, get in the views.
I guess that is close enough.
