I had a wonderful visit with Chanda and Angela today -- two friends of mine from Orlando who just took the Auto Train on their way to visit Chanda's parents in Pennsylvania. They came through Fairfax which is only about 12 miles from Lorton train station. We had a good time having lunch at Brion's before they continued their journey north. It was great seeing them and really made me homesick for Orlando.
I used the Auto Train when I moved from Orlando to Virginia on Chanda's recommendation. I was able to bring my fully-loaded pick-up truck with me, leaving the Orlando area at about 4 PM and getting into the DC area around 9:30 AM the following morning. I'd use it again in a heartbeat. This was Angela's first time on a train and she loved it!
With the Auto Train, I can get non-stop train travel to within ~ 15 miles of my two homes (Fairfax and Orlando) and can even bring my truck along for the ride. How cool is that?

Thanks for lunch, Brian. It was nice to see you and catch up. We made it to my parents for a picnic supper and bon fire before heading to my grandma's tonight. I look forward to seeing you on my return trip on August 7th. That's a Tuesday, Brian.
