I regret haven't been since all the Covid stuff, and tbh, I am leery of it. (I still mask on planes, but struggle with the notion of being masked for days on the train).

We've done the North Dakota to Wisconsin loop about 7 times, & it's so much better than flying. Leg room, better food, no one is patting your crotch down or charging you premium for one suitcase.
