[QUOTE]Originally posted by dilly: [QB] In my heart. . . I prefer coach for long distance travel (although the shine definitely wears off somewhere around Hour 14). In the social sense, the coach experience is less isolating, because I'm not holed up in a sleeping compartment. And since I don't sleep well in a coach seat and wake up frequently during the night, I'm able to see more of America -- the spooky little towns, shadowy rail yards, hellish-looking factories, and deserted railroad stations I normally miss when snoozing in a sleeper with the curtains closed. Traveling in a dimly-lit coach at 4 a.m. also has a uniquely eerie "Twilight Zone" quality about it, which I absolutely love. In reality, however. . . I gravitate toward sleeper travel for true long-haul, cross-country overnights. Arriving at my destination in a catatonic state, due to one or more sleepless nights in coach, just isn't worth it. It blows the entire day for me, and full recovery can take several more. With that said, however, I only go by sleeper if the current price, my budget, and my schedule agree, or I have enough free time and Guest Rewards miles stockpiled to cover a lengthy trip. If not, despite my love for rail travel, I'm not ashamed to fly. [/QB][/QUOTE]
