We are planning a March visit to BCV, and are considering taking the Amtrak autotrain. I have a few questions, and know the answers are in the forum somewhere, but can't get through to search...
1. We'll be driving from NH to VA to get the train -- I figure it
will take about 8 hours. Is that a realistic estimate?
2. Do you need to take a sleeper car, or is it possible to
sleep in the coach (my children are 11 and 13)?
3. When we get to Sanford, is there a "best" way to get to
BCV?
4. We're thinking of doing this to save money and have our
own car in Florida -- it seems to save money over flying
if we ride in coach -- it's more expensive if we take the
sleeper car, and it still involves 16 hours of driving, to
and from NH to VA. Has anyone done this more than once
and have some suggestions?
Pointing me to other posts would be great, if this subject has been covered sometime in the recent past.
Thanks very much...
