Pros: I loved that I didn't have to drive, didn't have to deal with airports. I felt safe and could relax during the trip. Cons: Though the seats were spacious, they were very hard. It would be nice if the sleeping cars weren't so much more expensive than the coach seats. Also, if there was a business class or first class to improve the comfort of the seats, that would be helpful. Tips: Bring a cushion to sit on, a pillow for your neck and a blanket.
