Air travel is getting to the point where I'd almost prefer 9+ hours to drive to the cesspool as opposed to the 90 minutes of flight time + time devoted to bullshit security precautions that I have to spend. Then, I think about driving thru Iowa. Then, I usually get the plane ticket.

I used to take the train from Ann Arbor to Chicago. It wasn't too bad. Did they have anything from Ann Arbor to Toronto?
That is one thing I loved about Europe: Mass Transit.

I also like the 42 hour trips amtrak had trying to go from Detroit to D.C.

Good mass transit. Certainly won't find anything like that here in Michigan.

Driving to Canada was what your Uncle J and Aunt M did when they went to Toronto. I know someone here in town whose husband was an engineer. She goes to Chicago once a month for 10$.
