No way in hell a train could've gotten us from Vegas to central Washington in less time than it took to drive, and certainly many times slower than flying, even with a layover at SeaTac.

Hmm. I did Ctrl+F and searched for "replace every single airplane in America with a train" but it didn't find anything. Weird.

The wife and I did a river cruise on the Rhine, and man, it was a delightful experience. The complete opposite of the C-level Vegas-on-a-boat of ocean cruises (which can still be fun).

I have done the same (on the Rhine, and other ones) and it was excellent. I still prefer staying longer in places than cruises allow, but European cruises (Viking or otherwise) are so much better, and more exploratory, than the sad Vegas on a boat ones (which, of course, a majority of Americans prefer given their lack of general intellectual curiosity).

I did a riverboat cruise on the Danube through Vienna. It would have been great had I not gotten seasick. The boat wasn't even rocking! It was the gentle glide and the moving scenery that did me in. I would do it again if I didn't get seasick. It was otherwise lovely.

Yeah, the longer time in port plus the more history focused tours, and the general calm of floating down a beautiful river…would much rather that than an ocean cruise.

That’s so interesting. We did the River option at the suggestion of my uncle who is a travel agent because my wife gets suuuper seasick on ocean cruises, and she never felt bad on our river cruise.

Their Flights Canceled, Southwest Travelers Were Threatened With Arrest

Their Flights Canceled, Southwest Travelers Were Threatened With Arrest - The New York Times

NYTI.MS
A police officer at Nashville International Airport told travelers whose Southwest flights had been canceled that they would be arrested for trespassing if they did not leave a secure area, a video...

There's another video floating around where a woman who identifies herself as a lawyer asks him what law he's telling them to leave under and of course he can't.
