I wanted to drive to Minneapolis and then fly. It was the best combination of cheap and quick that I could get.
But, my girlfriend found out about the Amtrak train and wanted that whole experience. So we're just driving down to Fargo and taking the train from there. It's about 44 hours, including about 6 stationary. For over half the trip we are either in business class or in a private room. We're bringing a portable DVD/CD player so we can rock out the whole way. Total cost: US$1013. Now I just have to find the ritziest park benches to sleep on and the cheapest two-day YMCA memberships for showering, because hotels are fuckin' out of this world in Manhattan.
