Amtrak Vermonter

Pros: Much better than flying. Cons: Needs better signage at New Carrollton Amtrak Station -- both to the parking garage and to the train tracks. Tips: It's cold waiting outside by the train tracks. Make a trial run before you go because there is construction and the signage is very poor.
