  Partner and I took Amtrak from Seattle to San Diego (roughly 2,000km apart)

  The Amtrak trip took over 40hours and was easily 5x the price of flying.

  I strongly support trains and travel options aside from driving and flying but goddamn has the US implemented rail travel in the worst way.

  This was a while back, over a decade ago and I’d love to hear if its improved any.)

  All told, the views of the west coast were spectacular and relaxing but still not enough to make up for the time/cost.

  I would love to have inheritance tax as something to worry about.

  It would mean I have millions to leave my family.

  I agree.

  Amazon is difficult to find what you want if you are searching for a specific brand or item. It shows you many options.

  To me it seems like Amazon wants to sell you something as long as the make a sale. Whether it is what you actually wanted is a distant second.
