2009 Nationals GTG

1 Passenger:   
Passenger 1:  Adult
 
  Rail Fare: $93.00 
  Accommodations/
Vehicle Price:  $220.00 
   
  Total: $313.00 
Thats the cost for the auto train. It adds about 300 more miles to the trip from the northeast but, I guess it's a trade off for less time behind the wheel overall.

But I looked on yahoo maps, If you go through Nashville its 1900 miles.

The Autotrain runs from Lorton Va. to Sanford Fl.  Will not stop in Ga except for fuel.  Does not go West either.

I like your thinking plus I know a person that works for the Train folks. I'm going to look into getting a deal with them. It's 1400 miles from me.
 
The only Auto Train that I have found runs from Washington, DC area to Florida, I don't see how this would help us.......

I want the (hope I spell it right) Cirbin V13R from Harly Davison. It cost $40,000 though  :cry: Not ever going to be able to get it seeing I just bought a house last year, but I can wish.

Ummm... when she sees all of the other purdy AVs, she will thank you!

Mine is a baby too, just anyone...
She only hauls @$$, MINE!  And sits in the garage until Sat and then takes a little spin to be returned to the garage.

I looked in to this last week and the cheepest I found was $989 and thats one way. I made up my mind and I'm driving. I just got to see if I can get it off from work because that is our busy time. I just can't find any of my friends that want to go with me. Plus I have to trust the persons driving to help drive my truck.

P.S. I love BBQ and I heard there are some all you can eat BBQ places down there for like $10 !!! Can someone look in to that for me and maybe get some quality test on them so I can make sure to only hit the good ones!!!  :laugh:
 
Has anyone here actually ever used the autotrain?

Yes many times from Lorton VA to Sanford FL.  It is a nice way to travel to and from Florida.  It is the only route it runs as I said in my post above.  It takes cars, motorcycles and Trucks.  The cost varies by size of vehicle.  SNOWBIRDs run it in the Fall and Spring.
 
I'm stealing this from Stealheadchaser's sig for my reason to go!!!

We'll not be able to attend, so please take tons of pics. I will be taking tons of pics here at the house of our baby which will be born just before this GTG.

Been there, done that X2. 

We'll be thinking of you and hoping you & the wife have uneventful deployments.  Keep your head down and stay safe.  (y)
