How to ride a train
It made me 
"It was a long ride, but it was fun and went by faster than it seemed."
How I did it: I made plans with my boyfriend, took time off from work, bought a ticket, drove to the train station and got on the train. I made sure to take plenty of toys to keep myself entertained.
Lessons & tips: If you're riding in coach, bring your own toilet seat covers, or try not to use the restroom at all. I don't know what the roomette and bedroom restrooms are like, but the ones in coach are disgusting. I'd also recommend practicing holding your breath for the duration of your bowel movements.
