lol sean, that's so coool getting a response from someone in your line of work!
And thanks for the suggestion, but my worry about thru the night trains is getting drunk weirdo's interrupting, etc.
Quite excited by the idea of us getting caught by sober passengers tho' lol. Late evening weekday trains would be best for us both.
wonder if any others have experienced train fun (on the recent post about best locations, it didn't come up)
