the auto train is fantastic and a great experience. we have done it twice and its relativly cheap for what you get. they load the bikes on a dolly, put them on the train and the rest is nothing but a great time. you really don't need a sleeper because the seats are roomy and comfortable. the food is great and included in the ticket price and you meet alot of great people. all i can say is if you have the time go for it and enjoy the trip
I don't think we have those in my part of the country. is it just like Amtrak or something, and they will haul a bike also?

At one time you had to furnish your own tie downs but they will tell you when you get reservations. August is the hottest month in Florida. If you are not locked into the date I would come in October but your choice and have a good time.
I see the humor but time is my concern here. I can board the train at 4 PM in Va. and be in Florida at 9AM the next morning. That would give me a few days to ride around the area before I had to head back home.
I could perhaps choose a closer place to visit for the allowed time I have. I haven't seen Florida yet and just thought it would be nice to see with the train as it is. I am still looking for destination options.
